Hi, David-

Barrett Brown here; you interviewed me a while back for your podcast. Today I've begun assisting the Wynne LeGrow campaign (Virginia's 4th congressional district) with outreach, fundraising, and communications in general, and I wanted to get in touch with you to see if you might be interested in a follow-up interview or perhaps brining it to attention yourself. LeGrow is an openly atheist candidate whose opponent has made much of that fact; he's also a fine candidate in terms of the solutions he's offering constituents of all religions or none. Here's a link to his campaign site:

Let me know if you'd like to discuss further. Also, I wanted to update you on another project I've been putting together that might interest you; I'll send you some info on that when I hear from you.

Hi Barrett,
The interview will be "on air" after midnight tonight.  I included
your email, the amazon link and the link for Enlighten the Vote in the
show notes.  The Skype connection got a little weak near the end of
the interview but I was able to make it sound pretty good, not sure
what happened as I didn't notice it that much during our conversation.

The link is http://www.atheistalliance.org/Podcast.html

Thanks again for the time and good luck with your projects. If you
have anything to promote please let me know and we will have you on
Secular Nation again or on American Freethought.

David
