John, I want to take a minute to give you a brief update and get some questions answered that are critical to our progress: Update: * Progressive Accountability committed or in: $1,344,000 * Progressive Accountability Asks Outstanding: $400,000 * CAP c3 committed and in: $50,000 * CAP c4 non-Progressive Accountability committed or in: $250,000 * CAP c3 under consideration, but very likely: o Peter Lewis $1.2M to $1.5M o Ann Cox Chambers -- Amount undetermined o The Mussers -- want to meet about campus progress Questions: In order to make the most produscive use of August, september and October, I need the following questions answered and I need real notice in order to get the schedule set in advance: * NY date for you to do the Corzine event (I need to know if you can do?) * NY date for Elizabeth Edwards the second week of September if possible (I have a call into Jen to work out) * LA date for you the first week of September (I have a call into Laura Nichols to discuss ) * SF date for you or Elizabeth Edwards the first, third, or fourth week of September (I really think it would be helpful if you could do one day -- this is a good hit) * TX date for Elizabeth Edwards the third or fourth week of September (I have a call into Jen to work out) * Boston date for you preferably Friday, September 12 (I need to know if you can please do) * Chicago and Philadelphia date for Elizabeth Edwards the thrid or fourth week of September (I have a call into Jen to work out) * You should tink aboout coming to the Art Auction since CAP is getting part of the proceeds on September 9 -- but not as important as the other asks * I really need to confirm the PA briefings at the convention and get your availability for meetings there * It would be very helpful to know where else you are going in September as I could do a couple of meetings in those places possibly I know it is a lot of questions but we should pin down the dates now in order to have the best results! Thanks
