Secondly, while I have been able to get into contact with most of you, I need any scholarship winner who I have not talked to personally to give me a call at the office, my contact info is listed below. I am currently assigning hotel rooms and we need to go over some key issues, so please call me before 2:00 pm Eastern tomorrow, July 2nd.
You can contact me at:

Every week or two I read another article in Roll Call, the Hill or the Politico on the increasing clout of the Blue Dog caucus. Today's came out in Roll Call, titled 'Blue Dogs' Bite Gets Stronger'. Anna Palmer's article opens with the sentence, "Blue Dogs get ready: The ranks of obsequious lobbyists looking to curry favor - and contribute to your war chest - is set to explode." The article also dubs Blue Dogs 'pro-business' and 'fiscally conservative'.
Going on to the FEC site lets you see the truth about the Blue Dog PAC - 85% of its money - $1.95M - comes from conservative corporate interests. The list is pretty standard. Walmart, Verizon, AT&T, Charter, Comcast, US Chamber of Commerce, Raytheon, Boeing, etc. And Steny Hoyer's PAC - AmeriPAC - isn't much better. Roughly 65% of his money comes from PACs, most of them similar to the ones flooding the coffers of Blue Dogs - Raytheon, AT&T, Boeing, etc.

- Message from Mary Rickles-Netroots Nation: Speaker Pelosi
By Susan Rowe on Jul 2, 2008 1:46 AM EDTDear Netroots Nation supporter,
One of Netroots Nation's goals is to facilitate in-person interaction between our political leaders and the progressive community.
So we're thrilled to announce that Speaker Nancy Pelosi will join us in Austin for a Saturday morning keynote session: "Ask the Speaker."
This won't just be any keynote. Speaker Pelosi wants to hear from you. Instead of simply giving a speech at a podium, the Speaker will be taking your questions and interacting with convention attendees.
Click here to register now.
The event empowers citizens to engage America's current House leader in substantive discussion about current issues, the legislative process, and how citizens can participate in their government.
The 9 a.m. keynote will be moderated by Gina Cooper, Netroots Nation's Executive Director.
Pelosi led the charge to put Democrats back in power, and as the first female Speaker of the House, Pelosi stands as a role model for women and girls across the country.
Netroots Nation is July 17-20 in Austin, TX. So if you haven't registered, there's still time.

See you in Austin!
