5. I signed up a friend of mine last night
She's a mom of one of my son's friends. I don't get to talk to her much, but when I do, we generally get going on politics. Hopefully she'll start coming here soon.

11. Thanks. Be sure to note when the speech will air on radio.
Thursday night -- tell your friends who missed Ann Wright-- to tune in and LISTEN UP!

8 pm, CDT
tune into Progressive Forum
www.kpft.org (90.1 FM)
Thursday, July 28

to hear the speech.

She was excellent, and very easy to listen to -- I think non-members of the choir would get a lot out of hearing her.
