<p>Gov. Ed Rendell Calls Out American Leaders as</p>
<p>“A Nation of Wusses”</p>
<p>WHO:              The Common Good (TCG) hosts a discussion with former Governor Ed Rendell (D-PA) in New York City. TCG is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that promotes participation in our democracy through the free exchange of ideas and civil dialogue. We are dedicated to finding common ground and encouraging the civic engagement that is so essential for a thriving democracy.</p>
<p>WHAT:            Governor Ed Rendell is a former governor of Pennsylvania, a former head of the Democratic National Committee, current MSNBC senior political analyst and a partner at Ballard Spahr LLP.</p>
<p>WHY:               Governor Rendell takes a swipe at today’s leaders from both political parties for a lacking backbone and leadership. In his new book he chides Americans for aiming too low and becoming too complacent. Part autobiography and part prescription, it provides a refreshing and powerful insight on American politics today.</p>
<p>WHERE:          AllianceBernstein 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 33rd fl.</p>
<p>WHEN:            Thursday, July 12, 2012     12:15 – 1:45 p.m.</p>
<p>DETAILS:         Photo opportunities with Governor Rendell available on request.</p>
