Join DFA at Netroots Nation

What are you doing this summer? I know we're going to be working hard to make sure progressives win in November.

Let's kick it all off together at this year's Netroots Nation convention in Austin, Texas from July 17 to 20, 2008.

There's two ways for you to come and join us in Austin.

One way is to buy your ticket right now and start making your plans to be there for the fun, training and community. Purchase your Netroots Nation ticket today and get the DFA $50 discount.

The other way is to earn a Netroots Nation Scholarship.

I'm excited to announce that DFA and Netroots Nation are teaming up for a Scholarship Competition to choose at least nine activists to join us. We'll cover the cost of admission and lodging -- all you have to do is apply and win.

The competition is a fun way to show off who you are and what you've done to move America forward. It's also a great way to help make sure you have the resources to attend. And over the next two weeks, progressives nationwide will have a chance to voice their support for you and help you earn your scholarship.

This is one event that you don't want to miss. The third annual gathering of the netroots community will include panels and caucuses led by national and international experts; prominent political, issue and policy-oriented speakers; a progressive film screening series and the most concentrated gathering of high-profile progressive bloggers to date.

Democracy for America will be all over the convention providing trainings and organizing panels. This year, we'll even have our own hospitality suite where candidates and other special guests are expected to stop by and mingle with DFA members like you and me.

Summer 2008 will be remembered for the incredible work we will all do together to take our country back this November. Let's kick it off together in Austin.

I hope to see you there.
