You’re Invited to MONDAY NIGHT RUMBLE!!!

The People’s Debate back-to-back with Monday Night Football.

Plus, we kickoff Potlucks for Democracy.

Monday, October 4, 2010. It’s the first post-primary U.S. Senate debate in Connecticut. Despite our best efforts to reason with Fox61/Hartford Courant, they’re denying us our right to participate. It’s the latest in a long line of lies to persuade you that you have no choice.

On the contrary, this choice is entirely up to you. From now on, nothing they do or say will take choice and democracy away from us.

We will include John in the debate, live. Join us in person at Anna Liffey’s in New Haven or online via live stream and twitter. We will use multimedia technologies to show the televised debate and candidates Blumenthal and McMahon (live), pause to allow candidate Mertens to answer each question, then resume the televised broadcast, giving equal voice to all three candidates. Olwen Logan, publisher of three online local news publications, writer and PR consultant, will be moderating the event. The entire event will be broadcast via live video stream, with audience inputs streamed live via Twitter hashtag #CTSen.

Please come in person. Exercise your right, be a citizen journalist or just a citizen, stay to connect, really connect, with John and friends.
