I saw that a couple of you are making your way to my beautiful city next week. I'm sure the conference will be keeping you plenty busy (and plenty broke), but just in case, there are a couple more events going on too.
Dear XXXX,
Governor Dean is meeting on Tuesday, June 13th, at the Capital Hilton with a group of very powerful Democrats who live inside the Beltway (or at least pretty close to it).
While they are indeed powerful, most pundits and powerbrokers still don't understand how and why. They are the small donors giving whatever they can afford to make the Democratic Party and its 50-state strategy successful.
Please join us for this grassroots reception in Washington. If you'd like to attend, you have two options:
Get your Democracy Bond by making a small monthly contribution to the Democratic Party. By joining the Democracy Bonds community you join a group of Democrats committed to our party's future by making possible the long-term financial planning necessary to win.
Make a one-time contribution in the amount of $50.

http://www.21stcd.org/index.php?src=gendocs&link=Annual%20Dinner21st Century Democrats invites you to join us on June 14 for a magnificent evening in Washington, DC celebrating what it means to be a truly extraordinary leader. The theme for the 2006 Annual Dinner is Vision, Values, Courage. Perhaps no two people better embody those attributes more than our distinguished guests being honored at this year’s dinner: civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis and Hotel Rwanda inspiration Paul Rusesabagina.
John Lewis is often called "one of the most courageous persons the Civil Rights Movement ever produced." He has dedicated his life to protecting human rights, securing civil liberties, and building what he calls "The Beloved Community" in America. His dedication to the highest ethical standards and moral principles has won him the admiration of many of his colleagues on both sides of the aisle in the United States Congress.
Paul Rusesabagina was the assistant manager of the Hotel des Mille Collines, and was previously the manager of the Hôtel des Diplomates, both in Kigali, Rwanda. During the 1994 Rwandan genocide, Rusesabagina used his influence and connections as temporary manager of the Mille Collines to shelter more than 1,260 Tutsis and moderate Hutus from being slaughtered by the Interahamwe militia. He is an ethnic Hutu, and currently lives in Belgium with his children and their adopted nieces.
Please join 21st Century Democrats and our sponsors to pay tribute to these two truly, extraordinary, visionary leaders!
