Politics To The Extreme

This free public conference will bring nationally noted authors, experts, politicians and pundits to the CI campus
for two days of presentations, moderated sessions, discussion and debate about polarization in American politics.
The conference is the first of several events planned to engage the CI campus and community in political
discourse during the 2012 Presidential election year.

The keynote speakers are congressional experts Thomas Mann of the Brookings Institution
and Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute, authors of the new book,
“It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided
With the New Politics of Extremism.” On Monday, Oct. 15, at 6 p.m.,
Mann and Ornstein will share their views on the breakdown in the American political system,
offer solutions, engage in Q&A with the audience, and sign copies of their new book.
