This news was way too cool to wait until Monday to share, so apologies up front for the Saturday night post.
In June, a dozen or so bloggers got a chance to meet with President Bill Clinton for a candid discussion on a range of topics, ranging from the environment to health care to the role of today’s new progressive era.
Reading about this meeting of got us to thinking: What if President Clinton came to Netroots Nation to discuss this new progressive era? After all, governance and grassroots activism is a huge focus of our convention this year.
Well, we are thrilled to announce that President Bill Clinton will join us in Pittsburgh to help kick off our fourth annual convention on Thursday night.

At a time when we're all working together to make sure we get the change we voted for, President Clinton's message is spot-on. After all, holding our leaders accountable is one of the things bloggers and activists do best.
Over the past seven years, you've played big a huge role in transforming electoral politics. I hope you'll join me in Pittsburgh as we shift our focus from electoral politics to governance.
We're on the ground here in Pittsburgh right now putting the final touches on everything and we're excited to have everyone out in a few days.
