Center for American Progress conference on security and peace

[HootieMcBoob]

Just wondering whether everybody's familiar with the Center for American Progress? They just concluded a major conference on security and peace. We should all subscribe to their daily progress report. It's sent out via email daily and it's excellent-- very informative.

The Center for American Progress is the first progessive answer to think tanks like The Heritage Foundation. It's a major step in getting a progressive message out to the media and generally and specifically defining a progressive message. It's very important. I've included some links for folks who are unfamiliar with them.

The NY Times had a pretty good article covering the recent conference yesterday:

The center's website also has much more information on it:

This is the homepage for the center:

1. i hate to kick my own post but...

just so people get more of a chance to see it. I won't do it again but I think it's important that we all know about this org. and subscribe to it's daily reports, etc.

2. I'll kick it, too.

We should have 15 think tanks like this one.

MAN are we getting a late start!

3. email signup

I hope everyone takes the opportunity.

4. right

they will also soon be sending out daily talking points. I know the idea of "talking points" sounds kinda stepford like but it's important to have ammunition. That's how the conservatives have managed to take over every major institution in the country. We have a lot of catching up to do.
