| Meet Author DAVID SIROTA at Not-So Fancy Farm! We've just confirmed that national political writer David Sirota, author of the recently released book Hostile Takeover : How Big Money and Corruption Conquered Our Government--and How We Take It Back will be speaking at our 2006 Not-So Fancy Farm picnic on July 12th! Sirota most recently appeared on the Colbert Report to promote his new book, detailing how corporate interests and politicians have conspired to squeeze America's middle class as never before. He is a regular contributor to The Nation magazine, the Huffington Post and is also a twice-weekly guest on Al Franken's radio show. My favorite: click HERE to see David Sirota destroy right-wing blowhard John Stossel on MSNBC. David will speak at @ 7:00 p.m. and will be introduced by Kentucky Treasurer Jonathan Miller will introduce. Afterward, Mr. Sirota will stay to meet & greet and sign copies of his book (which will be available for sale at the picnic, courtesy of Joseph-Beth Booksellers.) Keep watching this space for more information, as we continue to confirm speakers for our 2006 Not-So Fancy Farm picnic. |
Bring your sun screen, picnic blanket, and lawn chairs as candidates from across the state talk with YOU about the November elections.
Candidates from the US House, State Legislature, Judicial and Louisville/Lexington Council races are expected to attend. We'll also hear special speeches from our Democracy for America/Change for Kentucky endorsed candidates!
FREE BBQ and Beverages provided. Cash bar.
We'll be sending more information on speakers and plans in the coming weeks.
PS. For Not-So Fancy Farm 2004, we raised over $2004 online in just 23 days, with the average contribution being $29.00. We've put up another fundraising "BAT" (above), and our goal is to hit $2006 in contributions before July 6. Please contribute now to help Change for Kentucky put on this special event that only happens every two years!
