Brown to speak at MoveOn.org event

Rep. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat challenging Republican Sen. Mike DeWine, is unveiling a plan called "Health Care for All" at a 12:30 p.m. speech in Washington tomorrow as part of MoveOn.org's new Progressive Vision speech series.

Here is what an e-mail from MoveOn says about Brown: "Rep. Brown is a fiery progressive champion and a fantastic speaker. He's battling in a close Senate race in Ohio and is fast emerging as one of the most inspiring progressive leaders in the country. This will be an event to remember!"

According to MoveOn, the speech will be broadcast nationally. It's unclear what station it will be broadcast on.

What's the Progressive Vision speech series all about?

According to MoveOn: "This summer, over a hundred thousand MoveOn members came together in house parties and online to choose the top three big, positive goals for the country that MoveOn will fight for in the months to come: Health care for all, clean energy, and a democracy restored. This is the next big step—three major progressive leaders speaking to MoveOn members and the nation to show how bold progressive leadership can make this vision a reality. Think of it as the opening salvo in our next big campaign for a better America."

Here's what Republicans had to say about Brown's upcoming speech:

"Thank you, Congressman Brown, for reminding Ohio voters how out of the mainstream you are by agreeing to speak to a group like MoveOn," said National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman Dan Ronayne. "If a 15-year career of championing the far left in Congress wasn't enough evidence for Ohioans that Brown is an out of touch liberal, this appearance should put any doubts to rest."
