Lucas,Since our founding four decades ago, Public Citizen has earned a reputation as the countervailing force to corporate power.
Why? Because we focus on hard-hitting advocacy strategies in the nation's capital.
But on June 12, we'll be traveling far outside the Beltway to Los Angeles, where our favorite progressive comedians are getting together to celebrate Public Citizen's 40th anniversary:
Stand Up For Main Street: An All-Star Comedy Benefit for Public Citizen
This star-studded event is being organized by Public Citizen board member and Hollywood comedy writer Steve Skrovan to raise awareness of and support for our work.
I wanted to make sure you knew about this event, one of several around the country in which creative and influential people are rallying behind Public Citizen.
I'm hoping you can help us get the word out about Stand Up for Main Street by forwarding this email to everyone you know in Southern California.
And if you'll be in Los Angeles on June 12 -- or if you have friends and family there -- click here to get your tickets!
We have a dynamite lineup of comedians, including:
- Bill Burr ("Chapelle's Show")
- Jeff Garlin ("Curb Your Enthusiasm")
- Dom Irrera ("The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson")
- Andy Kindler ("The Late Show with David Letterman")
- Paula Poundstone (NPR's "Wait wait ... Don't tell me!")
- Hal Sparks ("Queer as Folk")
- Roy Zimmerman (satirical songwriter)
- And more!
Thank you for helping us Stand Up for Main Street!
Sincerely,
Robert Weissman
President, Public Citizen
P.S. We don't want any of our friends and supporters in the Los Angeles area to miss out on the fun. Forward this email to your friends and family in Southern California and visit our Facebook page today!
