Hear candidates speak about how they would direct the state’s resources to create a hopeful future for our state. Iowans will share their stories in the context of issues that affect everyone in our state: Energy, Health Care, Jobs and Wages, and Education.

The non-partisan forum is being sponsored by Iowa Citizen Action Network Education Foundation. A number of co-sponsoring organizations are also helping with the forum. None of the co-sponsoring organizations will have endorsed a gubernatorial candidate before January 15. T-shirts, buttons, signs, or other indicators of support for a particular candidate will not be allowed at the forum.

Big Brain

December 20th, 2005

Thursday, December 22, 2005; 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Iowa City Public Library

Public radio’s new show Big Brain is in search of life’s little questions, the ones you might never think to ask. You and the thousands of the listeners who tune into the live broadcast make up the Big Brain. Together we meld our minds for the hour to ask questions and come up with answers, educated guesses, and yes, we admit, sometimes just good hunches. Send your improbable and elusive questions to wsui@uiowa.edu with the subject line Big Brain and then tune in!

Live on The Library Channel, cable channel 10.
