Lou Dobbs is the anchor and managing editor of CNN’s Lou Dobbs Tonight as well as a best-selling author and syndicated columnist. Tonight, he examines the impact of U.S. public policy on a range of pressing issues — from national security to worker rights to our current political climate. Are our borders secure? Is there a more effective way for us to share in the tremendous benefits and harsh costs of free trade and outsourcing? What are the critical issues and challenges that confront the presidential candidates and American voters as we approach the 2008 election?

<SPAN STYLE='font-size:14.0px'><FONT FACE="Arial">In its 99th fall series of events, the <B>Ford Hall Forum</B> presents seven open public discussions on the issues concerning our community, nation, and world today. With the 2008 election approaching, the Forum takes a hard look at the state of our government and the policy issues that affect us all. Across a wide range of perspectives –- from the left to the right, from the harsh to the humorous -- the Forum hands over the microphone to thought-provoking speakers on the front lines. To facilitate frank and open discussion, equal time is provided for speakers’ remarks and audience members’ questions. At the Ford Hall Forum, no speaker goes unquestioned and no view goes unchallenged. <BR>
<BR>
