Whatch C-Span tomorrow
Just got this in the mail

I wanted to let you know about two important events in Washington tomorrow which will highlight the growing Republican Culture of Corruption and how Democrats are fighting for honest leadership and open government.

Tomorrow afternoon Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senator Barak Obama, and I will be speaking at a major event in Washington to unveil the Democrats' Honest Leadership and Open Government Act. The entire Congressional Democratic Delegation will be joining us in the Great Hall of the Library of Congress, where we will spotlight the Republican "pay for play" politics that put special interests ahead of the priorities of the American people. The event is scheduled to start around 2:00 pm EST, and will be broadcast live on C-SPAN.

After participating in the Library of Congress event tomorrow afternoon, I will be appearing on PBS's News Hour with Jim Lehrer tomorrow night to further discuss the Democrats' comprehensive ethics reform package. I will also talk about the House Republicans' assault on the existing ethics process in the People's House.

Speaking of which, I distributed the following legislative backgrounder on how the ethics process in the House of Representative has imploded under the Republican Leadership:

So, please watch CSPAN tomorrow afternoon around 2:00 pm EST, and then watch News Hour with Jim Lehrer on PBS tomorrow night. And, then come back to my website, and let me know what you think by posting your comments here:

Thank you again for all you do to restore faith in our democracy.

In Solidarity,

Rep. Louise M. Slaughter

1. Sounds good to me.
The Republicans have left the field vacant, so why not get the Dems together and warm up before hand? Works in softball, so why not government?

And Obama's name will raise the attention this receives. That can only be good.
