Stand up for our core values is not just about being right....It's about winning, too.

"Stand Up Straight: How Progressives Can Win," by national political strategist Robert Creamer of Evanston, sees great opportunity in the current political environment for long-term political realignment.

Some think that, in order to win, Democrats need to move to the political center and split the difference between progressive and conservative positions.

"Wrong," says Creamer. "To win the next election and to win in the long term, we need to redefine the political center."

Robert Creamer, author of "Stand Up Straight: How Progressives Can Win" will be signing books and discussing the current political scence at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore at Old Orchard Mall on Saturday, April 5th, 2008 at 2:00 pm. (s.e. corner of shopping center, facing Skokie Blvd)
It is also available at http://www.amazon.com/Listen-Your-Mother-Straight-Progressives/dp/0979585295/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207253177&sr=8-1
