"This year's DemocracyFest in sunny San Diego is quickly approaching. Planners have lined up a star-studded agenda, including one near and dear to our hearts -- DNC Chair Howard Dean, whose keynote address will be free and open to the public.

But what they need more than anything are participants ready to get energized about building our democracy -- and our country -- from the ground up. In short, they need you. Sign up today:

DemocracyFest 2006 promises to feature some of the best that Southern California and the progressive grassroots movement have to offer.

You can learn more about how Tom DeLay is merely a poster boy for this administration's corruption by joining filmmaker Robert Greenwald for a discussion and showing of Mark Birnbaum and Jim Schermbeck's new film, The Big Buy: Tom DeLay's Stolen Congress. You can also hear from an array of special guest speakers including DFA Chair Jim Dean, Al Franken, Iraq War Veteran and former candidate Paul Hackett, and democratic strategist David Sirota.

DNC Chair Howard Dean is coming. Hundreds of other DFA members from across the country are coming. You should too. Sign up today:

DemocracyFest has a fabulous program coming to you -- a weekend where you can trade ideas, learn new strategies, and get energized for the hard political work ahead in this critical election year. It'll be a great time in San Diego from July 14-16. I hope to see you there.

Sincerely,

Tom Hughes
Democracy for America

Firstly, it's at my alma mater, SDSU!

3. I can't go either.

I still have the DVD from 2004. Hubby finally got around to watching it. All of it, even the Trippi part. I could not watch that part.

Have fun, Capn. I wondered if that was in your neck of the woods.
