We’re having a PARTY!
The only good thing that has come of George Bush’s presidency ("presidency") is that he got the progressive left off its ass. Since he took office, showing us on Day One that "compassionate" to these guys meant cutting off health care for desperately poor people around the world, we have awoken, formed activist communities, put our heads together, shared the work, and started to retake our country from the corrupt and evil scoundrels now running the place (into the ground). And, in that vein, WE’RE HAVING A PARTY!
Live in the greater DC area? Coming in for Take Back America? Get started early at a low-dollar fundraiser for the August YearlyKos Convention! Sunday afternoon, 5-7 pm, just down the street from the Hilton where Take Back America starts the next morning, we’re having music, food, networking, and DOOR PRIZES!
And let me add that this will be special food and special door prizes.
Our great Special Guests include – so far:
• Jim Dean, Chair, Democracy for America
• Jeffrey Feldman of Frameshop
