Nothing but great news to report on Bob Fest Number 5. Former presidential candidate and the great senator from Iowa, Tom Harkin, returns to Bob Fest to "hold them accountble." What would our Chautauqua be without Jim Hightower? He's back! How would we get our news without Amy Goodman every morning on Democracy Now? Well, we are thrilled that Amy Goodman will join us on September 9.
Also, 96-year-old and fire-in-the-gut Doris "Granny D" Haddock is coming to Bob Fest. She stole the show at our People's Legislature's "Telling" and she will move our crowd in Baraboo.
Couldn't do it without John Nichols our hero and Cap Times editor Dave Zweifel.Both will be on center stage.
Hot news! Greg Palast, author of Armed Madhouse and The Best Democracy Money Can Buy accepted our invitation, and he will entertain, inform, and challenge you to get prepared for voter suppression in 2008. John Stauber, author of too many books to mention, will inspire the crowd.
We would feel incomplete without our Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin and she will help kick off the program. Add Bert Grover, Stan Grusynski, Nino Amato, Mike McCabe, Andrew Dunn and Bob Fest 5 will be our best ever.
We need to get our act together. Too many bad things are happening. We must raise our voices now. See you on September 9. You, after all, are the heart and soul of Bob Fest.
