Take Back America … in Denver

Building the Mandate in 2008 for Change in 2009

[3]As Democrats convene in Denver, the Campaign for America’s Future is sponsoring a forum Tuesday, August 26, about how to Take Back America with a mandate to make big change happen after the election.

If you are in Denver on that day, be sure to attend. If you are not, we'll stream the session live on our main Take Back America page [1] and post the video for later viewing. Also, join our online discussion on "Creating the Progressive Moment," designed to prepare progressives for the fight ahead.

At this conference, you will gain new insights and strategies for:

• Confronting the crises that have only worsened during this decade of conservative failure.
• Building a movement for Health Care for America Now!
• Advancing an Apollo Plan for energy independence and green American jobs that unites environmentalists and unions
• Ending the wasteful war in Iraq, and forging a new foreign policy and a positive global economic strategy.

This is where progressives will talk about how we can work together on the issue campaigns that will mobilize people this year — AND win real change in 2009.
