Our facebook pal and noted progressive author Jeffrey Feldman is coming to ‘Brain Food’!

The author of:

Framing the Debate: Famous Presidential Speeches and How Progressives Can Use Them to Change the Conversation (And Win Elections)

I’m a proud owner of that one has another book out:

Outright Barbarous: How the Violent Language of the Right Poisons American Democracy

And he’s coming to Oakland in May for a ‘Brain Food’ meetup. But first he and I want to invite you to his facebook Onliine Book Launch Party. It’s on May 1 at 9:00 am thru 5 pm so there’s plenty of time to ’sneak’ online and party down with us. If you already belong to facebook you can RSVP here. If you don’t you can register here, it is free, and you can then join the Oakland Drinking Liberally Chapter here. We’d love to have you join us there as we will be firing up our ‘Fire the Tortorer Yoo’ campaign using a facebook application and it would be great to be able to get people from all over the country involved in our campaign to persuade the boneheads at Boalt Hall who see no problem in have Yoo ‘teach’ law that there is a problem inherent in having an advocate of breaking the Geneva convention on their faculty.

Flash Update: We should have the time and date finalized this week and I will be posting that and more. If you are in the area stay tuned Jeffrey does a great presentation and his ideas about framing and communicating the progressive message are first rate!
