Hi <<Name>>,
Are you going to TAM, The Amazing Meeting, the skeptics' conference in Las Vegas? I'll be speaking there next week!
This week, we announce a major new SPI report, giving politicians proof that secular people form an important voting bloc.
We announce a new fellow, a professor of philosophy and medical ethics, who writes about logic and therapy.
And we talk about changing laws in Florida and around the world. Are they changing for us, or against us?
