Jeff Sharlet

I apologize for the short notice on this one. Jeff Sharlet, author of The Family, a look inside a Washington, D.C., secret society that prays together and shapes public policy, is scheduled to speak Tuesday night at Congregation Beth Torah (6100 W. 127th St.) in Overland Park.

After his talk, Sharlet with sign copies of his book.

Mainstream Coalition is sponsoring Sharlet's talk, which should hit home to Kansans. The Family's members include Kansas' U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback and U.S. Reps. Todd Tiahrt and Jerry Moran as well as former Reps. Jim Slattery and Jim Ryun.

If you hurry, maybe Mainstream's Boo Tyson will be nice enough to still let you in. Tickets cost $10 for Mainstream members and $30 for the general public. But a Mainstream membership and a ticket to hear Sharlet costs $25. Call 913-649.3326 or click here for more info.
