Civility Forum

Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen and First Lady Andrea Conte, joined by Belmont University, former Senator Howard Baker and the University of Tennessee's Baker Center for Public Policy, the Freedom Forum First Amendment Center and the Tennessee Business Roundtable, are hosting a forum on civil discourse in American politics. Featuring prominent national media and political figures, the forum will be a prelude to the 2008 Town Hall Presidential Debate at Belmont on October 7. The forum will assess this year's presidential race and help set the tone for civil discourse in the homestretch of the presidential campaigns.
