I suppose I am type-cast to be attracted to this fund-raiser. It supports progressive students as they campaign for progressive congressional candidates. As a former student campaigner, as the parent of former and future campaigners, as a leftist who wants to leverage low-cost labor for progressive campaigns, this event is a natural. I'm going. You should consider coming too.

The organization benefited, Students For A New Politics has a great track-record. In 2006 they successfully campaigned for progressives all over the country. Help them do it again. Candidates endorsed so far for 2008 are Tom Allen (D-ME), Darcy Burner (WA-08), Jim Himes (CT-04), Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15), Tom Perriello (VA-05) and Dan Seals (IL-10). .

Additional reasons for going: good company, great location: Council Member Gail Brewer breath-takingly pretty UWS home; A sliding scale; people who are broke, like me, can go for less, pay what we can .
