I wanted to let everyone know we’ve expanded our Portland event with the Oregon Bus Project into something even more fun- a discussion on harnessing grassroots and netroots power with Mike, former U.S. Senate candidate Steve Novick, and Oregon netroots uber-guru Carla Axtman.

Date and time are still the same.

The updated deets can be found on the event page by clicking here.

In the edition coming out tomorrow, Tom Palaima, a professor from the University of Texas at Austin, reviews The Progressive Revolution and Just How Stupid Are We by Rick Shenkman in The Texas Observer.

The Texas Observer is the sharp, award-winning, leading progressive Texas newsmagazine, founded in 1954, that is famous for picking up news stories that mainstream national outlets ignored but later made famous.

Check out the review here.

On Thursday, July 23rd, Mike will be speaking about his new book, The Progressive Revolution: How the Best in America Came to Be, at Fact and Fiction beginning at 6 pm. The event is sponsored by Forward Montana. See below for details, and we look forward to seeing you there!
