NEI Sponsors Creative Coalition Webcast

Just off the wire, taking place right now:

The Creative Coalition brings a distinguished delegation and their keynote program, Talking the Talk: The Creative Coalition’s 21st Century Debate Dialogues, to New Hampshire for the 2008 CNN Presidential Debates. The Dialogue event will be moderated by The Creative Coalition Advisory Board member Lawrence O’Donnell, Jr. and feature notable thought leaders, policy makers and actors.

The dialogue will include viewpoints from the left, right and center, featuring syndicated columnist Arianna Huffington, Republican pollster Dr. Frank Luntz and CNN’s Bill Schneider who all will engage in a lively discussion on issues surrounding the Presidential election and offer an in-depth look at the debates. This event and brunch will be held on Monday, June 4th, the day after Sunday’s Democratic Candidate debate.

As the nonprofit, nonpartisan public advocacy arm of the arts and entertainment industry, The Creative Coalition works to mobilize and educate the arts community on issues of national importance with special focus on those involving First Amendment rights, public education, and arts advocacy.

"This presidential election cycle is unique-- the race is wide open and it's the first time without an incumbent in more than 50 years," said Robin Bronk, The Creative Coalition's Executive Director. Talking the Talk kicks off a series of Creative Coalition dialogue events and other initiatives that will bring together the nation's most strategic political thought leaders to help dissect the issues in what will be the most important presidential race in years.
