Come share a glass of wine, a snack, a little socializing and and hour and a half of vigorous discussion. Visit the meetup site at Conservative Fusion.


While the Meetup site list 30 members, there are about five to seven  regulars and a couple more people who have attended a time or two.  Once we get a solid core of a dozen or so people who attend regularly, this group will be closed to new members. Read some great books and join the discussion.
