Early risers to this morning’s first session of the Public Policy Action Institute titled, "Building Authentic Left-Right Coalitions" were treated to a conversation as stimulating as the Starbuck’s coffee being served.

Feel better already?
It’s hard to believe that we’re a little over 3 months away from the 2011 Public Policy Action Institute (PPAI) this October in Chicago!
As we gear up for the Institute, check out the many resources available on our website.
