In these turbulent political and economic times what America needs is....PROGRESSS PARTY III!

Join Network For Progress, a social and media-savvy grassroots organization for the Mainstream Majority of “Sanity”-loving Americans inspired by the “Yes We Can” Movement of Hope and Change for a New Kind of Politics & Citizenship and to overtake the extremist influence of the “Tea Party” Movement, for a very much needed “recess” celebration as we continue our monthly networking mixer series where DC-area Progressives, Democrats and “Hope Mongers” can congregate to network and socialize to build our community for 2012 and beyond!

This month we will be hosting a Social Networking Mixer with DC’s top social networkers followed by our legendary 5th Annual Generation Obama-DC Date Auction (2 marriages so far!) that in honor of President Obama’s 50th birthday is benefiting Obama 2012 & Network For Progress as both organizations seek to build toward a rejuvenated “Yes We Can” Movement.
