Course Summary: If the answers to the questions below are of interest to you, then this is the course for you! • Who needs politics anyway? • Why can’t we all just agree? • Why aren’t our representatives representative? • How do they know what I think? • Are public opinion polls for real? • Who plays the political game? • How do we get spectators onto the playing field? • What differences does it all make? (from preferences to policy)

His areas of specialization are American government and politics and civic education. Dr. Frantzich’s published works include 17 books, the majority of which deal with the impact of technology on politics.

SPICE Policies:
All SPICE courses must be registered for and paid for in their entirety. Due to a new MD sales tax regulation, we are now required to charge 6% sales tax on all courses delivered electronically. Once it is safe to hold our courses in person, we will cease having to collect sales tax.

Until otherwise noted, all SPICE courses for January-June 2022 will be presented on Zoom. If you are unable to attend a session, most SPICE courses will be recorded for your convenience.

SPICE fees are per head, not per household, with a 50% off fee for second registrants within the same household.

A minimum of 15 enrollees per course are required in order to hold the course. If a course must be canceled, those registered will be notified and a SPICE credit will be issued.

Registration Information:
Reservations may be made via email to Sherri Bell, sboxerbell@gmail.com, or by telephone to Sherri Bell, SPICE Chair at 410-303-2483.
Payment may be made in one of three ways:
1. A check may be mailed to: Sherri Bell, 1 Clifton Court, Pikesville, MD 21208
Your check should be made payable to Har Sinai-Oheb Shalom Congregation with SPICE and the course name written on the memo line.
