Contrary to what you may have heard, your consent as a voter is actually required before the coronation of President Hillary Clinton; not just once, but twice, first in a primary election scheduled for February 5th.

See, betcha you didn't know that.

With that in mind, please join John Edwards for a conference call this Sunday. RSVP here.

Or, if you prefer to embrace New York's Tory lineage, dynastic rule after all being inscribed in our very name, you're also free to join Councilman Bill de Blasio, Congressman Rangel and both Presidents Clinton this Saturday at Abyssinian Baptist Church for what is being billed, with no apparent sense of irony, as Hillary's Homecoming. It's a rare chance to get at least in the same room with Hillary without forking over cash, so by all means, avail yourself of this rare opportunity.

Or just go to the march against the War in Iraq, scheduled Saturday for the same time, details here.
