After you finish watching Argentina-Mexico in Sunday afternoon's World Cup quarterfinal, head on over to the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library to get a dose of public policy. The Public Issues Forum is hosting a forum 3 p.m. Sunday on campaign finance titled, "THE INFLUENCE OF MONEY ON OUR DEMOCRACY -- Facts and Implications of the recent Supreme Court Decision allowing unlimited Corporate Contributions to Campaign Finance."

Dr. Heather Larsen-Price, an assistant professor in the University of Memphis's political science department, will be one of the panelists, along with U of M law professor Steve Mulroy, a county commissioner with expertise in election law.

According to a press release, "The Public Issues Forum is a Memphis voluntary association, which sponsors programs to inform and educate the public on current issues and seeks to reinforce the principles set forth in the Constitution of the United States."
