Sheldon Whitehouse, MSNBC's Alex Wagner and Melissa Harris-Perry, Katrina vanden Heuvel of the Nation, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Barney Frank, and many others. There will be presentations by noted commentators, including Barbara Ehrenreich, Melissa Harris-Perry and Jim Hightower. The conference will conclude Wednesday afternoon with a march from the Washington Hilton Hotel to the offices of conservative political operative Karl Rove and his Crossroads GPS Super PAC. The march and rally will "indict" Rove for his leading role in what march supporters are calling an effort by a small group of wealthy conservatives to buy our democracy and suppress the votes of ordinary citizens. More details of the march are available here. Thanks for your support of independent programming, which allows FSTV to bring you programming like this. Don Rojas Executive Director Free Speech TV
