I'll be going to the Progressive Media Summit meeting, sponsored by the Democratic Senate Outreach committee on Wednesday.

It's my third year attending this invitation only event that in past years has had 35-45 progressive media attendees, including Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann, Bill Press, Chris Hayes, David Kagrox Waldman, Nancy Wheeler, Jane Hamsher, Mark Levine, David Korn-- and me.

It's a chance to meet, in fairly intimate circumstances, with about two dozen Democratic senators, with one-on-one face-to-face time.

Any suggestions on questions to ask them or things to tell them?

please post your suggestions as a comment.

Here is a collection of pics from last year, taken by OEN managing editor Cheryl Biren Wright who also represented OEN last year.
