* On Saturday, June 7, at 6:00 p.m., I'll be speaking at the Future of Freedom Foundation's conference, entitled "Restoring the Republic: Foreign Policy & Civil Liberties." The conference is at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Reston, Virginia. Other speakers include Jonathan Turley, Bruce Fein, Ron Paul, Andrew J. Bacevich and several others. Event and registration information is here, and the schedule of speakers and events is here. The subject of my speech is "The 2008 Candidates and Civil Liberties -- A New Path or More of the Same?"
* On Sunday, June 8, at 5:00 p.m., I'll be at the 2008 ACLU Membership Conference, held at the Washington, DC Convention Center. I'll be participating in a panel discussion with Arianna Huffington, Rachel Maddow and ABC News' Jan Crawford Greenberg -- moderated by Adaora Udoji -- entitled: "Looking Ahead: Political Realities of a Post-Bush America." Event and registration information is here.
* On Monday, June 9, at 8:00 p.m., in New York, I'll be the guest on "Shoot the Messenger," the live theater show hosted by Daily Show Co-creator Lizz Winstead.

I'll be discussing Great American Hypocrites and political issues generally.
