Member Reviews and Testimonials

“ Great meetup group. People with diverse view points and backgrounds coming together for productive discussions is the core fabric of the meetup. The wide- variety of events serve as an added advantage. Instead of being just a casual meetup to rant about political inclinations, the meetup actually provides a platform for meaningful discussion and reasonable reconciliation of sometimes opposing viewpoints. ”

Always nice to have polite conversation on a hot-topic that affects us all! ” — Charlie O. on May 16, 2016.

	“ Political discussion on a broad spectrum of ideals and ideologies for candidates and their political parties. Pres. Lincoln stated that: The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty. ” — Sandy on Apr 21, 2015.
	“ This is the type of group that makes me glad to be in NYC - friendly, sharp, intellectually alert individuals interested in coming together to consider topics from local to global. ” — Christina D. on Mar 8, 2015..
	“ I'm new to politics so that I was quite anxious attending but the organizer Thomas is a knowledgeable and understanding, and make me feel comfortable being in the group. Members are very impressive. Each person expresses his/her view and opinion without fear! Interesting to know different views. I've just went along with them to a little inexpensive dinner and a drink after the meet-up. Mingle with them outside the formal set-up is something we big city people crave. Eat, drink and a little chit-chat helps us to feel "we are comrades." It brings warm interaction between us even we don't necessarily agree all the things we discuss at the meet-up. Wonderful group! ” — delia y. on Jan 5, 2015.
