Special News Bulletin: YearlyKos Welcomes Another Candidate to Groundbreaking Leadership Forum
The YearlyKos Convention team is pleased to welcome Senator Hillary Clinton to the second annual, historic gathering of the netroots in Chicago this August. Clinton joins Senators Edwards, Obama, Dodd, and Governor Bill Richardson as a participant in the first ever collaborative presidential forum with both a respected blogger(Joan McCarter of DailyKos) and a leading member of the traditional media (Matt Bai of The New York Times Magazine) as moderators, with author and blogger Dr. Jeffrey Feldman facilitating questions from attendees.

This forum is the peak of a convention packed with informative discussions, social mixers, terrific speakers, and great entertainment. Whether you're a movie buff, a veteran strategist, or a newcomer to political activism, there's plenty to enjoy in the Windy City. Make the most of this opportunity to hear what all the leading Democrats running for President have to say. Meet like-minded patriots who are as enthusiastic about restoring our America's greatness as you are, make new friends, and put faces to all those screen names you've grown familiar with.

Events that are this big require tremendous planning to put together. That's why we need to hear from you by midnight, Saturday, July 14th, Pacific Time. That's tomorrow. These last few hours represent your final window to register for this incredibly innovative and unique event. It's your last opportunity to be a part of an intimate, unscripted citizen dialogue with the Democratic leaders seeking your vote for election to the highest office in the land.

Still not sure about coming? Take a chance! Let YearlyKos dazzle your senses, enhance your knowledge, and recharge your passion for the future of our country.
Okay, I'm psyched now! Take me to that registration page!

1. I would love to go, but tickets are far too expensive

The Green Festival was far more affordable in the same venue with the same caliber of speakers.

3. I'll miss you :)

I registered early, so it was a lot less expensive, probably because the candidates hadn't sign on yet? I think there are a few DUers going, we probably need to hijack the Illinois state forum....and plan our meetup :D

2. No to far away.

And even though some here keep saying I am a paid politico, they are wrong as usual.

4. It would probably cost you less to fly from Florida

than it is for me to fly from Virginia :) I live in the nation's cul-de-sac of transportation....the Norfolk area.

5. What good does it do?

6. Education and a chance to see/meet Democratic Candidates ?

I am psyched :)

Trying to explain this to a friend the other day, who's definitely apathetic on politics, it's "...like going to a Trekkie Convention, only for political junkies.." She rolled her eyes :(

7. I'm really getting excited!

Can't wait to see everyone and meet some new people. I'm taking the train at 7 a.m. ET Thursday and get into Union Station around 12:30 CT, then I'll head right over to the hotel. I think I'm meeting up with some other Michigan people getting on the train in Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo. I'm flying home Sunday around 6 p.m.

:hi:

8. It's an excellent chance to network with other progressives

and members of the netroots, as well as to learn something and possibly meet the candidates.

9. Thanks SharonRB, you said it better than I did :)

I know there's more than 2 DUers going, I may kick this til the deadline, midnight, Bastille Day :evilgrin:

10. mopinko is going

and a new DUer I recruited here in Michigan is going with her husband and daughter. She's only got 10 posts so far and hasn't ventured out of the Michigan forum yet, but I'm pushing her to come to the clubhouse.

11. Kick for the Friday Night Crowd.....

I wonder if Team Skinner is going ?

[Catchawave]

12. Last Kick for Midnight Deadline tonight....

I know there are more than 3 DUers going, so will catch up with everyone again in the Illinois forum starting Monday (?) for some serious DU meetup plans in Chicago :)
