3 Weeks From the Convention

Constitutional Convention Building Democracy 2.0 Memorandium

Subject: Convention Participant Conference Call-Monday

Dear Participants,

In just three weeks we look forward to welcoming you to the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia for Constitutional Convention: Building Democracy 2.0. The beginning of the Mobilize ’09 programming agenda, this event is shaping up to be a historic discussion on the role of the Constitution in the lives of the Millennial Generation and a chance for innovative and groundbreaking projects to compete for up to $10,000 in funding in order to build on Mobilize.org’s Democracy 2.0 initiative.

The purpose of this e-mail is to share some important information with you.

First, we will be holding a participant conference call on Monday (December 22) at 9pm EST (6pm PST) to deliver important information about the Convention and to answer any questions that you may have. We strongly encourage you to join the call by following the call-in information below:

Conference Dial-in Number: (218) 844-8230; Participant Access Code: 101875#

Second, we are continuing to seek participants and team project proposals. Please spread the word about Constitutional Convention: Building Democracy 2.0 among your friends and networks. As a reminder, the deadline to submit your grant summit proposal is also on Monday. For more information please consult our Participant Information Packet.

For more information on travel, lodging or other logistics you can connect with other registered participants of the Convention team using our social networks, including our Convention wiki.

Finally, I have attached a participant press release template which you may customize with your name and brief biography and send to your local newspaper and media (and don’t forget your student or campus papers!) to gain publicity and recognition for your participation in this important event.

We’re happy to answer any questions about Constitutional Convention: Building Democracy 2.0. Visit our website at www.democracyupgrade.com or contact us at 1-866-MOBILIZE.

Thank you for your time and we’ll connect again on the Monday Call,

The Mobilize Team
