 Dear Progressives,
Wow! We had a great time and a great crowd for the David Plouffe book-signing event last Monday night. Plouffe spoke about the content in his book for about 25 minutes, then went into a generous Q & A session with the 300+ people who came to Deux for the evening. Plouffe covered various topics including the current health care reform agenda, the emergence of Texas as a battleground state in 2012, and reminisced about the 2008 campaign with volunteers.
As we head into the holiday season, we hope you and yours have a spectacularly swine flu-less time. We're diving deep into development of programs for 2010, so we'll be having just a couple of social events over the next 6 weeks, including a year-end Claudia Fowler's Coffee & Conversation wrap-up social that we'll announce soon.
Be Well, and Be Progressive!
Tracy Clinton & Molly Hanchey

Southern Methodist University's LULAC Chapter would like to invite you to attend the screening of the feature-length documentary, "Papers", focused on the struggles of undocumented students. Attached is the press release and flyer for the event. Please RSVP to ezamora@smu.edu

Make a day of it at the movie with family and friends and see six black-and-white films made by African Americans during the early and mid part of the 20th century. These rarely seen films show images of African Americans portraying roles about African American life that was noticeably disregarded by Hollywood. Following the last film screening, renowned filmmaker Warrington Hudlin will be on hand to shed light on the importance of these films and his work as a filmmaker.
