Senator Harry Reid to Speak at DailyKos Convention

Tuesday January 3, 2006
I am pleased to announce the first-released name of a featured speaker at the YearlyKos liberal community convention......Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (D-NV).

If you're unfamiliar with Senator Reid's strong leadership and record, be sure to read about him at my article, Five Liberals Who Made a Difference in 2005, and at Profile of Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.

The first annual YearlyKos convention is scheduled for June 8-11, 2006 in Las Vegas. The convention is designed to bring together the liberal community which has grown around the influential DailyKos blog, which has over 350,000 members and receives more than 4 million unique reader visits each week.

Senator Reid is a DailyKos member, and has posted a few blog entries there. Other prominent political members of DailyKos include Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI), Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) and Rep. John Conyers (D-MI).

The YearlyKos convention will feature nationally known political speakers, a well as workshops,. seminars and community-building social events.

Yes, I will certainly be there to provide daily inside coverage for you, my readers.... but it would also be great if YOU attended! Here is a link to registration for the YearlyKos progressive community convention on June 8-11, 2006 in Las Vegas.

Please email me if you plan to attend. I would love to meet readers of US Liberals @ About.com there. If enough of you attend, I will plan a US Liberals @ About.com meet-up.

The liberal and progressive community has arrived in the 21st century as a major political force in the US. YearlyKos is a highly significant event that will coalesce, inspire and educate us to take back the Senate and House in 2006! We can do it together!

Join me in Las Vegas at the YearlyKos convention. And if you can't attend, check here daily for all the news from this momentous liberal community gathering.
