Constitutional Reading The Institute for Policy Studies, DC Vote, the Fund for Constitutional Government, and the Democracy Action Project invite you to a book party and signing to celebrate the publication of two books by American University Constitutional Law Scholar Jamin Raskin.
"Overruling Democracy: The Supreme Court versus the American People" is a current Washington Post best-seller that writer and activist Barbara Ehrenreich calls "brilliantly argued and meticulously researched," Congressman John Conyers calls "groundbreaking," and AFL-CIO President John Sweeney calls "gripping" and "required reading for every citizen who cares about the fate of our democracy."
"We the Students: Supreme Court Cases for and about America's Students (second edition)" has been called "the bible of the new movement for constitutional literacy among high school students." The book has been updated with more than 75 new pages about affirmative action, student free-speech rights, school vouchers, high school football prayer, and student disabilities.
The event takes place Thursday, April 24, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., at the Stewart Mott House, 122 Maryland Ave. NE.
RSVP to Moira Lee at 202/274-4268 by Monday, April 21.
