It will be a fun evening of stimulating conversation, good food, fine wine, and convivial companionship. Tickets are $100 per person and will benefit our educational outreach on redistricting reform, campaign finance reform, and open and accountable government. Sponsors will receive a complimentary signed copy of Kuttner's bestselling new book, A Presidency in Peril: The Inside Story of Obama's Promise, Wall Street's Power, and the Struggle to Control our Economic Future. To purchase tickets, make a donation, or sponsor this event, please click on: www.commoncause.org/ma/kuttner. Common Cause is the leading voice in Massachusetts for change. Last session, we successfully fought for the passage of the most significant ethics, campaign finance, and lobbying reforms in decades, as well as for National Popular Vote, which will reform the Electoral College. We are now in the midst of an aggressive campaign to curb political patronage, to ensure that the 2011 redistricting process is as open and acceptable as possible, and to pass meaningful campaign finance reform. These battles are not only critical to our democracy, but also cannot be won without your help. Your contribution to this event will make a real difference. Every dollar raised will go directly to ensuring that these campaigns have the support they need to succeed. Please click here (www.commoncause.org/ma/kuttner) to attend the January 18 reception or to make a donation. If you'd like to make reservation by phone, or would like more information, please contact us at 617-426-9600. I look forward to introducing you to Robert Kuttner on January 18th! -- Martin G.
