Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Obama to Host Congressional Leaders, Leaves for Asia Trip

HeadlineNov 05, 2010

President Obama has invited top House and Senate leaders from both parties to discuss the remainder of the current congressional term. Obama spoke Thursday at a White House cabinet meeting.

President Obama: “I want everybody to know that I’ve already called Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to invite them to a meeting here at the White House in the first week of the lame duck, on November 18. This is going to be a meeting in which I want us to talk substantively about how we can move the American people’s agenda forward. It’s not just going to be a photo op.”

The meeting will be held in two weeks. Obama meanwhile is heading to Asia today for a 10-day trek visit that includes stops in India, Indonesia, South Korea and Japan.
