MODS:You can delete if this is a dupe. I just got home and read my email and found it..

THIS JUST IN: Popular television host Keith Olbermann will be moderating the AFL-CIO Presidential Candidates Forum from 6-7:30 p.m. CDT on Aug. 7 in Chicago.

And we wanted you, the e-mail activists who every day make a difference for working families, to hear the big news right away.

Olbermann and working men and women at the forum will question the candidates--and some of the questions will come from e-activists like you.

Watch the forum live--tune in yourself or invite folks over for a Watch Party--Aug. 7 from 6-7:30 p.m. CDT (7-8:30 p.m. EDT) on MSNBC. Or listen to it on XM Satellite Radio.

The response to the question contest has been overwhelming.

You’ve already submitted nearly 1,200 questions on topics such as the Employee Free Choice Act, health care, international trade, education, energy, CEO pay, Iraq, immigration and the future of the labor movement.

AFL-CIO union members submitted the questions, but anyone can vote for a general question, or a specific question directed to the confirmed candidates for the forum: Sens. Joe Biden, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Christopher Dodd and Barack Obama; former Sen. John Edwards; Rep. Dennis Kucinich; and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson.

With a fine host like Keith Olbermann, along with questions directly from working men and women and their families, the presidential forum is sure to be a hit.



In solidarity,


Working Families e-Activist Network, AFL-CIO
