What if people got together mainly because they are people? What if we shared with one another, expressed our desires and fears honestly, and connected without worrying so much about external influences; money, work, cars, technology, activities, etc.? In other words, what if we started at the beginning; with our own humanity? What if we worked together to make a place where ANYONE with ANY label can join and be themselves, as long as they don't hurt or compromise others? I don't know for sure, …

James Madison Toastmasters was founded with the purpose of teaching conservatives how to speak.  We have noted that conservatives are rarely much good at articulating their message, and in California they have been losing election after election for lack of clarity.  The James Madison Club provides a venue where conservatives may practice communication and hone their message, and breathe new life into conservative causes.  We are largely Republican, but conservatism is our true core. Our meetup …

Divided though we are as a country, we're generally in agreement about the state of our union—it's not good. We also generally agree on a big part of why that is: our system is corrupt. By and large, our politicians are subservient not to the people, but to the corporations, unions, and wealthy donors who bankroll their campaigns. Our legislation reflects not what's in the best interest of average Americans, but rather the best interests of Exxon Mobil or Goldman Sachs. A government "of the peop …

Street photography is the art of exploring life as it happens in the everyday moment, capturing the lives of others with an instant while observing your own, its not about creating photo memories, its about dissolving one's self in the experience of coincidences. It is straight photography in that it shows a pure vision of something, like holding up a mirror to society. Street photography often tends to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter, and often concentrates on a single hu …

Random acts of kindness can help us get to know our community and help end cycles of hatred. Some of the events will be "kindness protests" in which all of us will help remind our community about acts of kindness they can do. Some will be events where we have tons of people hold different signs that say things like : give a stranger a compliment, or volunteer at a ho …
