Bernie Sanders To Appear At NETROOTS NATION, Clinton has Scheduling Conflict.
Clinton to miss convention of liberal activists, bloggers
ST. LOUIS (AP) —
Hillary Rodham Clinton is not expected to appear at Netroots Nation, an annual convention of liberal activists and bloggers who are often courted by Democratic presidential candidates. Organizers of the event said Wednesday that Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley have confirmed to appear at the July 16-19 conference in Phoenix and will appear on stage separately during a Saturday morning town hall-style event that will include questions from the audience.

Clinton's campaign cited a scheduling conflict for her absence, saying the Democratic front-runner is already scheduled to speak at an Iowa Democratic Party event in Cedar Rapids on July 17 and a Democratic dinner in Little Rock, Arkansas, where her husband once served as governor, the following night. Sanders and O'Malley are also scheduled to speak at the Iowa dinner. About 3,000 activists are planning to attend the convention, which will also feature Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. Many liberals had hoped she would challenge Clinton for the nomination. The weekend includes panel discussions among progressive activists and labor leaders and features several Democratic members of Congress.
