Join Generation Obama as we gather on Capitol Hill to celebrate the holidays AND the historic progress of Speaker Pelosi’s 111th Congress by thanking those - especially in the House - who worked so hard for change even if they weren't rewarded in November despite billions in TAX CUTS while saving the banks, saving the auto industry and saving the states PLUS Wall Street, Credit Card, Student Loan, Food Safety Equal Pay and Health Care Reform! Not to mention Climate Change and hundreds of other bills that never passed the GOP-filibuster threatening Senate.

We look forward to thanking many of these staffers in person during this very special occasion. We also will be collecting donations for our new venture Network For Progress that will work to re-energize our “Yes We Can” Movement and for the kids at Children's National Medical Center.

Speakers include Freshman Congressman Steve Driehaus (pending House schedule) who fought for his principles in his one-term in Washington despite the conventional wisdom, Rod Snyder who is working to get young people back involved as President of Young Democrats of America as well as Emily Lamia of Democratic GAIN whose available to a new influx of young progressives get new jobs in the New Year.

Happy Holidays!
