To say we’re excited for the 5th annual Netroots Nation in Las Vegas is an understatement. It’s a great conference made of up a diverse crowd from around the country sharing ideas and learning from each other how to use the internet to create change.
Who from our Rock the Vote is going? RTV President Heather Smith, RTV Communications Director Maegan Carberry and me, Jason Rosenberg RTV Digital Director will be there.
It’s going to be an amazing time filled with great speakers, brainstorming and what else? Oh yeah, Rock the Vote is hosting the closing party with Daily Kos. The party’s at the House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay and the performing bands are two of Rock the Vote’s featured artists Nikki & Rich and American Bang. This party is only open to credentialed Netroots Nation attendees, but if you’re in Vegas for Netroots Nation, you need to come to this event. Plus we’ll be twittering the event. The hashtag will come soon.

Co-hosting a party with Daily Kos? Do you still try and claim impartiality, or have you entirely abandoned the smoke and mirrors?
From the “Kos”:
“It’s always fun to watch Democrats doing well by doing good. And fun to watch backpedaling Republicans claim they’re really for what they’re really against. But once again, extremist teabagger Republicans (aka conservative Republicans) are out of step with the general public whereas moderate and all five (well, I think there must be at least five) liberal Republicans agree that extending unemployment benefits is a good thing to do. Also.”
and:
“For all the Democratic problems, Republicans have troubles as well. And I wouldn’t trade their challenges for ours in million years.”
Let’s see, the Kos views Republican problems as “theirs” and Democratic problems as “ours”. Please give up the charade of independence. You are not fooling anyone, except, perhaps yourselves.
