A subscription to Jim Hightower’s Lowdown has been donated to the Gray Panthers by member Frances Hindley. Thank you, Frances! Come check it out, and browse our library of books and videos. For example you can borrow the recently acquired videodocumentary on New Orleans, “When the Levees Broke: a requiem in four acts,” by Spike Lee; or the Families USA video, “The Problems with the Medicare Drug Program” (14 minutes); or Sen. Barbara Boxer’s February 11, 2005 press conference at the San Francisco Senior Center on Defending Social Security (still pertinent), and many others. You can watch them here on our VCR or at home on yours.
