I hope you will join me in Tacoma next Saturday for America in Solidarity's first NW Progressive Convention
The event to be held on Saturday, November 10th will run from 9am to 4pm at the First Congregational Church (209 S J St

* Keynote Speaker Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey
* Retired General Paul Eaton speaking about Iraq and what we should do there
* Congressional candidate Darcy Burner speaking about our loss of civil liberties
* Congressman Adam Smith in a Q & A about recent developments in the Middle East
* Two of the leading NW trade experts talking about our trade policies affect on working families
* A panel about clean elections and campaign finance reform
* Great workshops on immigration and affordable health care
* Presentations by each of the presidential campaigns with a chance for you to weigh in on our straw poll
Admission (to offset the costs of venue, promotion, etc.) is $20. Oh yeah, that covers your lunch as well. Tickets may be obtained by sending a check to:

I am looking forward to catching up with many folks I haven't seen in a couple of years as well as continuing to expand the Progressive network with new friends I will meet there. I hope that you will come enjoy the NW Progressive Convention.

I think it's great that Adam Smith has been invited to speak at a Progressive Convention! And that he's going! Yeah! Hmmm...maybe the shots people were takng at him before were, I dunno, like over the top and undeserved or something...
So is Adam Smith the traitor-devil incarnate or is he a Progressive who accepted the invitation to speak at a progressive event? Can't be both...nope...fascinating...
and I notice there are no Republicans scheduled to speak at the event. Hmmm...there must really be two different parties with two different ideas then instead of this imaginary monolithic one-party entity we keep hearing about...but then...we knew that already, didn't we? :)

Oh. Well before you give me too much credit for enlightenment, please note that I am not an organizer fot this event; merely an attendee.
I do note that Rep. Smith is coming to speak on Middle East matters (an area where he has certainly started moving away from the "Blue Dog" position - unlike my own Rep. Larsen).
Knowing however where the America in Solidarity groups stands on trade issues, it will be interesting to see if Rep. Smith is subject to any questioning on those positions. I do not see him as listed as a speaker on that subject.
