FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Third annual gathering of the Netroots to be held July 17–20 in Austin, TX

July 7, 2008--Netroots Nation organizers announced today that Harold Ford Jr. and Markos Moulitsas will participate in a Friday keynote discussion on party infrastructure.

One of Netroots Nation’s goals, organizers say, is to examine the future of the progressive movement. This discussion between Moulitsas, founder of Daily Kos, and the current chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council will give attendees a chance to hear a range of views on questions such as where and how should we build infrastructure in order to create positive change in Washington DC.

On page A1 of the Chicago Tribune on Sunday, December 31, 2006, the YearlyKos Convention was named the #5 "thing to look for in '07" by the Tribune staff: (If I may suggest that the #1 thing to look for in '08 should be getting rid of the need to sign up for a free account to view an article!)

5. Blogorama In August, Democratic presidential candidates will come a-courtin' the bloggers at the second convention of the Daily Kos blogging collective and its readers. With the 2008 election year drawing near, the second Yearly Kos, held at McCormick Place, should outdraw the hugely popular 2006 edition and might serve as an unofficial campaign-season kickoff.
