We're slowly revealing the all star and diverse line up of progressives, labor, and working class speakers (and this will be interactive, not just speeches). First we were proud to let you know that Richard Trumka, second in command at the AFL-CIO, will be addressing the group. And we also revealed that Joe Bageant, author of "Deer Hunting with Jesus: Dispatches from America's Class War," will be speaking at the conference. Today, we wanted you to know of two more speakers (and we will be announcing more in the near future): David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize winning author of "Perfectly Legal" and "Free Lunch," will discuss why the working class should be concerned about government economic policies of the last few decades. And Jeffrey Feldman, "framing" expert and author of "Outright Barbarous: How the Violent Language of the Right Poisons American Democracy" will also be offering his insights.
