Koch Party, Bernie Sanders, Saving the Post Office, and more!

Jim Hightower was one of the first targets of Karl Rove's a la Lee Atwater Dirty Tricks!

Maybe with good reason.

Love the man - reminds me of Molly Ivins and Ann Richards, both sorely missed.

Hello friends and agitators,

If you're in the Austin area next Tuesday and Wednesday, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is coming to town. On Tuesday, March 31st, Hightower will be appearing with Bernie for a town hall meeting, and we hope you can join us there. https://berniesanders.com/events/austin-town-meeting/

Then, on Wednesday, April 1st, Bernie will be the speaker at the Travis County Democratic Party fundraising dinner. www.traviscountydemocrats.org/2015/03/06/jbr-2015-honoring-freedom-to-marry-champions/

Also, did you miss the strategy call to save the public post office with Hightower and Mark Dimondstein of the American Postal Workers Union yesterday? Not to fear, you can listen to the call and read the transcript on the Hightower Lowdown website: http://www.hightowerlowdown.org/node/3915

Keep agitating!
