What’s in it for you?
Aside from having a voice on the national soapbox of political discourse, there’s of course your 15 minutes of fame and a blank page waiting for your brilliant thoughts. If that’s still not enough, there’s a cool 08DNC t-shirt & hat (really!) and if you stick with us till the Convention - a crisp $100 bill (really again).
Write Kevin Kearney at kkearney@08DNC.com if you are interested.
