Dean, Jackson and Huffington, Oh My! (Take Back America Conf. in DC)
So who's going to be at the The Take Back America Conference
in DC tomorrow?
http://www.ourfuture.org/projects/national_conference/2005/about.cfm

I will be there tomorrow if anyone wants to meet me in real life. Howard Dean and Arianna Huffington will speak tomorrow, Jesse Jackson on Friday, plus many other events and speakers scheduled. It's gonna be wicked sweet!

Post here or PM me if you wanna exchange contact info so we can look for each other. I'm gonna go take a nap now so I'll be awake tomorrow (long day) but I will check back here sometime tonight.

Peace

2. I'd love to be there
but alas, no.

However..look how inspiring this all is..

"George Bush and the right wing of Congress are going for it all. They are trying to...

PRIVATIZE SOCIAL SECURITY and dismantle the social safety net

OCCUPY IRAQ and have the United States police the globe

Pack the courts and undermine CORPORATE ACCOUNTABILITY

CRUSH UNIONS and leave workers on their own

Turn back the clock on CIVIL RIGHTS, WOMEN'S RIGHTS, GAY RIGHTS and the ENVIRONMENT

They have the White House, right wing majorities in Congress, an aggressive message machine, an energized base, and hundreds of millions of dollars from corporate lobbies to manipulate our political system.

But we are going to stop them. A new PROGRESSIVE MAJORITY is coming together."


I've read DUers Nancy Waterman and Heddafoil are going..hope you all have a fantastic learning experience!:patriot:
