See Glenn Greenwald in New York City on Saturday

[Bob Geiger]

Of the many people I had the opportunity to meet at YearlyKos in Las Vegas, the guy I most regret not getting to spend more time with is Glenn Greenwald, a Constitutional law attorney, who blogs at Unclaimed Territory and who recently authored "How Would a Patriot Act?"

Glenn's book, which discusses what can be done in the face of a White House bent on trashing the United States Constitution and operating too often on nonexistent presidential authority, is on the New York Times best-seller list. It's also must reading for anyone who wants an easy-to-read, comprehensive look at what is happening to our freedoms under Team Bush.

Glenn is also a heck of a nice guy and will be appearing this Saturday, June 17 at 8:00 PM at the West Side YMCA's George Washington Lounge. That's at 5 West 63rd Street (between Central Park West & Broadway) in New York City. Admission is free and there will be reading, discussion and question-answer with Glenn.

With all the television, radio and conference appearances Glenn has been making, this is a great chance to see him in person so he can help you understand how a patriot of old would act in today's America.

Please contact Glenn Raucher of the West Side YMCA at [e-mail] for more information.

If you live near New York City, I hope to see you there!
