MOVEON to hold a leftwing conference in DC, June 18 - 20

Posted on 05/31/2007 6:08:45 AM PDT by Gopher Broke

Dear MoveOn member,

Every June, thousands of leaders, activists, thinkers and bloggers gather in Washington, DC at one of the biggest progressive conferences of the year—the Take Back America conference.

This year I'll be helping kick it off, and we'll be joined by an amazing list of speakers—from John Edwards to Ned Lamont to Nancy Pelosi. And there are workshops and presentations on everything from universal health care to corporate reform.

The folks at Take Back America are offering a special rate for MoveOn members, but it's only valid for a few more days. Want to join us on June 18th, 19th, and 20th? Just sign up here:

Looking for more reasons to come? Here's a partial list of invited and confirmed speakers:

Former Senator John Edwards Representative Dennis Kucinich Senator Hillary Clinton* Senator Barack Obama* Governor Bill Richardson* Ned Lamont* Senator Sherrod Brown Senator Bernie Sanders Senator Jon Tester Senator Amy Klobuchar Robert Greenwald Tom Matzzie Tavis Smiley* Chris Bowers Jane Hamsher Markos Moulitsas Zúniga* Matt Stoller* Senator Jim Webb* Speaker Nancy Pelosi* Gerald McEntee Rich Trumka Anna Burger Mark Green Katrina vanden Heuvel Gloria Totten * = invited speakers

But the best reason to come isn't the big names—it's the chance to connect with thousands of other folks working across the country to build a more progressive America.

You can sign up right now at: https://secure.ourfuture.org/tba07/step1/moveon

And I hope I'll see you there.

Sincerely, —Eli Pariser, Executive Director

Good luck selling the American people on defeatism, hate Bush and socialism. Its a winning platform.

Right. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will sell the MoveOn crowd on their record of non-accomplishment. ROFLMAO!

Does the Republicans do a similiar thing. It actually sounds like a way to discuss issues and get everyone on the right page. Of course the conservative page is what we want and if they do some sort of seminar that might help to advance the conservative movement which definitely needs it right now.

Guess they never did Move On after Bill Clinton’s impeachment.

But they did tone down their naked Socialist rhetoric as they realized being public about the Big S as a political ideology wasn’t what America wanted.

They aren’t “taking back” America, they want to “take over” America. Socialism has been rejected at the polls for nearly 100 years.

They've been INVITED but have NOT confirmed that they will speak at the 'event'. Looks deceptive to me. Trying to get the numbers up so they can attract the speakers they're advertising by saying that they have those speakers.

I DO hope they fail to attract the speakers they've promised so that those sill deluded by leftist theology will see their leaders as nothing more than con artists.

This is one place I will never be, or never would go to. Take America back from what? Wonder what they will be talking about. The people coming to this hippie reunion are all country club members with private jets. have fun whom ever wants to go , but that is one place I won’t dignify myself going to that group. When does free republic have theirs? Would love to go to that one.

Unfortunately, it costs money to sign up for the conference or we could fill up their space with a lot of empty chairs.
