I have made this group in reaction t …

Anyone who knows and loves Stephanie Miller and the mooks. As well as loving Randi Rhodes Let's get together and chat about politics and how we love to watch the Republican debates for entertainment only.

Are you passionate about progressive politics? Want to rant about how stupid the tea party is? Have a secret crush on Rachel Maddow? This is a friendly, casual group to chat about politics over a few beers after work.

How many times have you thought, “If only I had someone to talk to, someone to give me advise or a different outlook on things that are happening in my life?” I believe we all think that way at some time during our lives. Wouldn't it be refreshing to have somebody there to encourage, motivate and advise you, whose only motive is to see you succeed in life? If this is true for you, then we welcome you to this group with open arms!  Our thoughts, beliefs and intentions have the power to manifest a …

"There are other Republicans in Alexandria??" Yes!! And there has never been a more important time to be a Republican -- to stand up to this overtly liberal Congress and Administration and work to take back our country. The AYRs are dedicated to turning back the tide of liberal opportunism that seeks to erode our nation's foundation. Comprised of Republicans between the ages of 18 and 40 (but lots of associate members stick around after 40), we are the largest YR organization in the Common …

After reading Empire, Multitude, and Commonwealth, many of us feel a need to discuss the implications of this trilogy for the Occupy Together Movement, politics in general, and the ways we live our own lives. I'd suggest we might want to read each of the Hardt/Negri trilogy, section by section and the basis for our discussions, and move on from there.

Join this group if you love or are interested in discussing our Constitution and Bill of Rights, and are sick of politics as usual. This group will provide the opportunity for discussing current events and political issues from a classical liberal / paleoconservative / constitutionalist / libertarian point of view, and to support local and national political candidates who hold those views. This meetup will also serve as a venue for Ron Paul supporters from all political backgrounds to organize …

Love graphic novels? Wish you could meet with fellow readers for interesting discussion? Same here. Let's meetup and talk about great graphic novels (and maybe have a glass of beer or wine on the side! ⎯perhaps tea and crumpets while reading From Hell?) Join us in exploring all genres and styles, from Watchmen and V for Vendetta to Maus and Persepolis (with a liberal sprinkling of Jhonen Vasquez, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller and others in between).

I'm starting this group because I would like to meet up with a group of good peeps on a regular basis to discuss the issues of the day like health care reform, recycling (just kidding), the bailouts, guns and gun policy, hunting, VA politics, and the answers to questions like, "Why are we here?" over massive quantities of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Guinness:) Actually, just kidding. I don't personally want to get hammered, but a beer or two over some good political and philosophical discussion w …

Just as clarification, "Goddess" isn't in reference to spiritual, holistic or new age beliefs. Just a fun group of women who like to drink some wine, have a good time, discuss interesting topics, laugh and develop friendships. Now... the original description... Meet other women in their 30's and 40's in our community who celebrate being smart, beautiful, fun, funny, adventurous, and independent. We are past the bar/club scene of our 20's but still enjoy going out on occasion, happy hours, girl t …

I love to read books, but often feel the need to share them with others. Since, I live in a very liberal area - I thought I would start a book club for those of us conservatives who are reading the same books and would like to discuss them. Although, I am not a 912er, I would welcome any members or anyone who is interested in reading and discussing conservative books. I am open to suggestions on books. I just read a book recommended by Glenn Beck, written by Andy Andrews called "How to Kill 11 M …

What if you could do everything you normally do, but do it without consuming fossil fuels? What if you could power your entire home and/or car from solar panels on your roof? What if you could protect your children from their imminent financial burden of paying 10 times what you are paying for energy? If you like the sounds of what you just read, you should join us - we're forming a new cause, a new movement to change the way we perceive, retrieve and receive energy. We don't want to wait 20 …

Are corporations people? Our Supreme Court thinks so but many US citizens disagree. The Supreme Court decision in the case of "Citizens United vs the FEC" allows corporations to give unlimited amounts of money to support political candidates of their choosing. While you or I might struggle to contribute $20, they can contribute 20 MILLION dollars with no problem! Is this government of the people, by the people and for the people?? This group is primarily for residents of the Mt. Vernon dist …
