Conversations on Independents and the Sunday Talk Shows

Every Sunday, Jackie Salit (President of the Committee for a Unified Independent Party and long-time consultant to independent grassroots organizing efforts) and Fred Newman (the brilliant and some folks think "outrageous" philosopher and architect of the current progressive American independent movement) get together and talk about the talk on the Sunday Talk Shows. They call it Talk/Talk. This Sunday, there's a stellar line-up on NBC's Meet the Press with Tim Russert:

• BILL CLINTON Former President of the United States
• DAN BALZ Chief Political Reporter, Washington Post
• PATRICK BUCHANAN Conservative Commentator (and independent candidate for a minute in 2000)
• DAVID GREGORY Chief White House Correspondent, NBC News
• TAVIS SMILEY Host, PBS's Tavis Smiley Host, PRI's The Tavis Smiley Show Moderator, PBS's All-American Republican Forum

What could Tim Russert possibly thinking?
We'll find out....

And next Sunday, join a CUIP National Conference Call, led by Jacqueline Salit , Editor of the Neo-Independent magazine and president of CUIP, Sunday, October 7th. For more information, please contact Nancy Ross at national@cuip.org or call 800-288-3201/212-609-2800.
