| To: Assignment Desk, Daybook Editor Contact: Toby Chaudhuri or Noreen Nielsen, 202-955-xxxx, both of Campaign for America's Future My breath is baited... News Advisory: -- Thousands of Progressives to Gather Monday for 3-Day Conference to 'Take Back America' Swoon... -- Organizers Announce Opening Day Media Events Schedule Kool Aid Kulinary Tips at 9:00... The Campaign for America's Future today released details for the opening day of the organization's "Take Back America" conference. More than 2 thousand progressive leaders and activists will gather at the Washington Hilton on Monday for the first day of the annual event. How "progressive" are they? "Hang onto your wallet, it's going to be a bumpy ride!" Campaign for America's Future co-director Robert Borosage and Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg will hold a morning news conference to release an election-year message guide and brief reporters about highlights of the gathering. Progressive leaders will also kick-off events to outline a bold "Agenda for the Common Good" during the conference's opening luncheon. Ah, the "Common Good" - yep, this is going to be expensive... Actor and environmentalist Robert Redford, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), former Sen. Gary Hart (D-Colo.), Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), Rep. Barbara Lee (news, bio, voting record) (D-Calif.), Rep. Bennie Thompson (news, bio, voting record) (D-Miss.), AFL-CIO president John Sweeney and many others will join Campaign for America's Future co-director Roger Hickey to begin outlining bold initiatives that make up a progressive agenda that promotes the "common good." Swoon II. Agenda / Schedule at linky. There's even a session on "the progressive promise and conservative collapse"! Enjoy! Delousing available upon request - at additional cost, I'm sure. |

| #2 Do they ever explain who they're "taking it back" from? George Soros, maybe? Fu Manchu? The Shadow? |

| #1 Where will the Prozac booth be? With Z-man dead, Time backtracking on the Marine story, Rove in the clear, and Bush's poll numbers on the rise, Foolfest 2006 will not be a happy place. |
