the Liberal Card

It's been just over two years now since I first started posting on Future Majority. In that time, we've grown from an audience of about 10 (all the old MFA staff), to ~1,100 unique visitors per day. And that's not including folks who read the site via RSS. We were credentialed to cover the Democratic National Convention, presented panels at Netroots Nation, and we've been quoted in news sources as varied as The New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, and CNN. In short, Future Majority has gained a name as one of the go-to places in the political blogosphere for information about the youth vote.

All of that is made possible by you, the readers (and occasional commenters), and friends and colleagues who email criticism, praise, and tips that keep this site running. And this is to say nothing of the incredible contributions that Kevin, Craig and Sarah make every week - without pay - to keep this site going.

As a small way of saying thank you, I want to offer you a gift.

As you may know, our friends at Living Liberally have a new project - The Liberal Card. The Liberal Card promotes Liberal Pride, Liberal Community and Liberal Discounts. The bearer gets a personalized wallet card that gets national benefits and for discounts at local establishments in a growing number of cities -- including discount theater tickets, books, movies, free drinks and more. There are national discounts as well as local ones for folks living in NYC, Austin, Des Moines, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Tampa, Boston and Chicago.

If you would like a free Liberal Card, send an email to 2008 [at] theliberalcard [dot] org and write "Future Majority Sent Me." in the subject line. The first 25 responders will get a free card, and everyone else will get a consolation prize.

I'm so humbled (and surprised) every time I get on a call or go to a conference and someone tells me that they read Future Majority. To everyone who supports this site, thank you so much.
