Folks, I've been shamelessly hawking this "Organizing for America" kickoff party, but... doing it for good reason. It's cheap ($44, very low for a fundraiser), it's a great organization (see President Obama announcing it in the video below), and... well hell, it'll be a great party.
Well, we're pleased to announce that yet another special guest will be attending -- Senator Michael Bennet, the newly appointed Senator from Colorado. If you'll be in DC tonight, this is your chance to meet him. And might I add, as a -- ahem -- "point of personal privilege", Senator Bennet actually graduated from Wesleyan University just a few years before I did. Incredibly smart guy, and someone you'll want to meet (and hey, any Wes grads in DC, really... you HAVE to come to this.
So come by if you can, and even if you can't...well, consider donating the $44 anyway..
Full details (and video of President Obama's announcement) below the fold...
As you probably know, this is basically the successor organization to the Obama campaign, announced by President Obama a few weeks back (see video below). The goal is to continue to stoke the grassroots fires, and help President Obama actually turn "hope" into "change."
You know the drill, folks -- it's important, it's a great organization, and best of all, it's a PARTY! (and if you can't come to the party, please consider clicking and buying a $44 ticket anyway, to help the group out).
Here's the details:
Thursday, February 26, 6:30 - 9:30 PM (VIP reception from 6:30-7:30)
Lima Restaurant and Lounge, 1401 K Street NW, Washington, DC
$44 or $250 for VIP ticket
Tickets will go fast, so please get yours today. Oh, and please enter "John Hlinko" as the "referrer," if you'd be so inclined (I don't get anything, just ego gratification, but my ego is huge, so that's important).
In all seriousness, this should be a blast, and the place should be absolutely rampant with Kossacks (including a few co-hosts, I'm guessing), so... go to http://tinyurl.com/... now, get your tickets, and come join.
