Don’t forget that tonight, at 6:30 pm, PBC and the Center for American Progress are launching our new author series - Moving Forward: Foundations for a New Progressive Era.

Join us tonight, as the event is streamed live from the Center for American Progress website.

PBC will also be live tweeting the event.  Follow along @pbcbooks and join the conversation using the hashtag #PSPPBC.

This first event will feature author Kevin Mattson, author of What the Heck Are You Up To Mr. President? and James Fallows, National Correspondent for The Atlantic and former Carter speech writer.  The two will discuss the origins of Jimmy Carter’s  now-infamous “malaise” speech, and how an address that should have sparked the drive for a new energy economy was hijacked by the  Republicans to sink a presidency.

Introductory remarks will be delivered by PBC Chairman Governor Howard Dean.
