HEY FLORIDA DUERS (or anyone who can travel there)! Lunch with Wexler?

Monday June 30th - Lunch with Congressman Wexler; Fire Breathing Liberal

The Democratic Professionals Council has the distinct honor of being the first to host Congressman Robert Wexler on his book tour. If you watched Congressman Wexler's passionate testimony this weekend you certainly you won't want to miss this lunch!!

There's a reason The Nation, America's leading progressive magazine, named Robert Wexler the country's "Most Valuable Congressman." It's the same reason right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh refers to him as "disgusting." It's because for the last twelve years Wexler has been Congress's most outspoken liberal – taking on George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Alberto Gonzales, General David Petraeus, and, when necessary, even his own party.

In Fire-Breathing Liberal, Wexler brings readers onto the floor of the House and puts them at the center of some of the last decade's biggest controversies. He passionately describes how he defended Bill Clinton from impeachment and how he stood up against the Bush brothers when the "butterfly" ballots in his Florida district wrongly decided the 2000 presidential election. He also offers an honest and brutal assessment of the Iraq war and explains why he has become a leader in the movement to impeach Vice President Cheney. And, with warmth and wit, Wexler shares some of the funniest stories from the corridors of Congress, including how he became The Colbert Report's most talked-about guest.

This is a remarkably candid first-person account of recent political history that shows government as it has rarely been seen – by a Democrat in the middle of the storms.

A networking reception will begin at 12:00 followed by a luncheon at 12:30. Cost is $35 per person in advance or $40 at the door. (mail-in check or PayPal). We invite you to bring any guests. A Book signing will follow the luncheon.

I have no idea why I'm on their mailing list but thought I'd pass this on.

Even for a fire breathing liberal.

What with gas prices and the price of hotels in that neck of the woods, it would be one of the most expensive lunches I've ever eaten.

Let me know when he gets closer to the First Coast. :)

pay for it and ticket will be in the mail for me this week. I love good organization. Dems are really getting good at this. I think Wexler is really going to go places in the party, watch him in 2016...
