*Subject: Registration INFO & Endorsers for The 3rd CONVENTION (Aug 21-23)

     The People's Progressive Convention will begin Friday 
afternoon, August 21st, and end Sunday afternoon, August 23rd. 
Convention proceedings will be held on the campus of Eastern 
Michigan University in Ypsilanti. Ypsilanti is just outside of 
Detroit; for those who will be flying, it is only a 15 minute ride 
from the Detroit airport. 

      A committee in Michigan has been working to arrange descent, 
low-cost housing in local motels/hotels, as well as for some free 
housing. They are also arranging for local transportation, food and 
other necessary logistics. 

     The schedule for the Convention has begun to be developed by 
a National Planning Committee initiated by Project New Tomorrow and 
composed of a growing number of organizations. The final schedule 
and other logistical information will be sent out later to all 
those who pre-register. 

    We encourage you to pre-register! This will help us to better 
prepare, and it will help us meet the up-front expenses of 
organizing an event of this kind. 

    For most people pre-registration is $20.00. For people on fixed 
income, the unemployed or students there is a $10.00 pre- 
registration fee. 

    Please fill out the coupon below and return to us as soon as 
possible.
