Sen. Bernie Sanders to Speak at 2015 PA Progressive Summit

[malaise]

this morning. Cecile Richards is also speaking.
Why did Hillary Clinton turn down their invitation?

Where can I hear their speeches?

1. Keep talking Senator Sanders..keep it up. K&R

2. I think the most convenient answer is

she is not a progressive. But it's also true that the Democratic establishment (which includes Howard Dean and Al Franken) is rapidly coalescing behind her -- before she has declared, before she enunciated much at all in the way of policy -- and has always taken the progressive wing of the Democratic Party for granted.

She's already in general election campaign mode IMHO (running to the center-right).

Here's two articles I read recently that support the contentions above (I think they've already both been posted on DU).

4. I'm glad you are mentioning this.

There will also be a discussion about the media and the rightwing media in particular. It will have Jen Senko of "The Brainwashing of My Dad", a film that will be released this year, in the discussion. I will provide a link later.
