Though National Security is a buzzword on the 2008 campaign trail, there has been virtually no discussion of what it means for everyday Americans to feel secure.

Join us, less then two weeks before the election, as we move beyond lipstick and hockey pucks to investigate what real national security looks like. Hosted by Laura Flanders (GritTV), Live From Main Street Seattle will convene an all-women panel to examine how issues of national security impact our daily lives and ask the tough questions about how we can build a better future. Does the solution lie in our military or social policies? What are women doing to ensure security in their communities and in the world at large? And how does the militarization of our budget affect security in other areas of our lives?

We will bring together the voices of women who have served in the military, foreign policy experts and more to explore how national security policy might change if a broader cross-section of society was at the decision-making table.
