Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico, Democratic Presidential Candidate

Commonwealth Club - Silicon Valley

June 12, 2007

Add Review/Comment

As a seven-term congressman from New Mexico, Richardson focused his energies on major foreign policy issues and the growing energy issues in America. In 1997 he was appointed as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and was later named Secretary of Energy under President Clinton. Since 2002, Richardson’s moderate approach to politics has served him well as governor of New Mexico where he has been devoted to clean energy use and developed aeronautic and technological infrastructure in the state. Richardson’s Hispanic heritage and approach to immigration issues makes him an important figure in the long term debate over border security and how to deal with illegal immigrants. Join us as we get better acquainted with Governor Richardson and his points of view on issues of interest to our community and the Bay Area.

    What an awesome person to meet and hear. How many people - much less women - can one name who has headed as public a company as HP, and who has been in the public eye, under heavy criticism, and given up so much in life to lead with a strong hand? Ah, women of the world, take note, and lead through the criticisms, the male-dominated world of the Board Rooms, and corporations. Take charge. Carly is, and was, definitely a woman with a vision. I am looking forward to learning from her! Collapse

    The language they use is an important part of how conservatives have been able to dominate the national agenda. All too often, progressives and media folks help them do so by unwittingly using terms that reinforce the conservatives' positions. George Lakoff is an expert on decoding political language, and a clear and engaging speaker. You're guaranteed to learn something important from his talks. "Freedom" is going to continue to be one of the hot topics in American political discourse. Progressives need to learn how to talk about freedom in ways that express effectively what WE mean when WE use that word. Collapse
