EXCITING NEWS!We are proud to announce that Valerie Plame Wilson and Ambassador Joe Wilson will be guest speakers at a DORR Banquet on Saturday, October 11, at the Sedona Hilton Hotel.This is the first time the couple has visited this area and the first time DORR has organized a banquet of this type. We hope you will attend! Please click here for more information. Ex-CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson and Ambassador Joe Wilson will relate their stories of how the Bush administration exposed her identity as a special agent and how it subverted the right of free speech with its attempts to silence a critic. There will also be opportunities for you to meet the Wilsons. Both Valerie and Joe have written books on the events of the last few years. In 2004, Joe wrote his memoir, “The Politics of Truth,” and, more recently, Valerie wrote “Fair Game,” which chronicles her experiences as a CIA agent and the incredible events leading to the disclosure of her cover. Both books will be available for book signing. If you would like more information on the Wilsons, please access their website at www.wilsonsupport.org. Come and join us for a memorable evening!

"The paintings of Joella Jean Mahoney are to Northern Arizona what the
paintings
of Georgia O'Keeffe are to Northern New Mexico."
"Joella Jean Mahoney's paintings are the best examples of Arizona landscapes ever produced... they are unique, beautiful and perfect. Often copied, never well,
if
I were to have one painting of Arizona, it would be by her."
In 1996 Mahoney was honored as Distinguished Alumnae by Northern Arizona Universtiy during its Centennial Year Celebration. In 1997, Scripps College Fine Arts Foundation honored Mahoney for her achievement in the arts. She has had 20 and 30 year retrospective exhibitions at Claremont Graduate University Art Department Gallery, University of La Verne, Harris Art Museum, NAU Art Museum, and the West Valley Art Museum in Phoenix, Arizona. She has had 50 year Retrospective Exhibitions at the Kolb Museum, South Rim, Grand Canyon National Park, the Northern Arizona Museum, Flagstaff, Arizona and the West Valley Art Museum in Phoenix, Arizona.

DORR aims to get out a positive Democratic message of inclusion and tolerance, of a forward looking national community that respects individual differences, the right to a private life and personal security A civil society that cares about the fate of its individuals, that leaves no citizen behind. And a government that supports free scientific inquiry, intellectual and artistic activity.
DORR is planning an extensive program of membership meetings, action oriented workshops and guest speakers - local, state and national. We are reaching out to Democrats and Progressives all over Yavapai and Coconino counties. We plan to continue our letter writing campaigns, strengthen our connections to the Democratic Party organization, have our voice heard at the state and county level, research local issues, continue our voter registration drives, and seek great candidates to run for election.
DORR will be as strong as its membership's commitment. We ask you to join us.
Perhaps every generation thinks so, but we are in the fight of our lives to stop the slide into intolerance and the erosion of our liberties.
