I have some exciting news to share with you.

This week, I become one of the co-hosts of

CNN’s Crossfire

 – the most famous political debate show in television history.

That means: for a few days a week, I will be debating the key issues, along with

Newt Gingrich, Stephanie Cutter and S.E. Cupp. I will be making the case for progressive

solutions -- before a national audience.

Of course, I will continue working feverishly and passionately as Rebuild The Dream's

president.

(In fact: ALL FOUR Crossfire hosts are keeping our day jobs!)

But this new development does offer a bigger, additional platform from which to call

for positive change.

Here is what I know: I cannot do a good job by myself. I will need your help to get

the best ideas, arguments and insights into my head, every day. And Rebuild The Dream

will need to be strengthened organizationally to transform this opportunity into

major campaigns that make a difference.

Many have asked how they can help. Here are some easy ways for you to do that:

First, please join #TeamVan. Just

follow me on Twitter

 and

tweet with me

using hashtag

#TeamVan. Also, please

like my page on Facebook

 to join the conversation in that arena. I will be stealing as many good ideas I

can to use on TV.

Second, help spread the word

. Share the attached image on your website, Instagram, blog, or whatever to get people

to join

#TeamVan

. You can also forward this email to friends or people you think I should get to

know.

Third, help strengthen Rebuild The Dream

. We are now in a more strategic position. At key moments, we will be engaging our

500,000 members -- driving change on issues from student debt to excessive incarceration.

Donate here

 to make sure we are ready.

Personally, I hope we raise $50,000 -- and double my

Twitter followers

 to 200,000, so that we can better compete with Newt and SE in the battle of ideas.

All you have to do is press the share button or the forward button. You know what

to do. It takes one second – one click – to make a difference.

So support Rebuild The Dream. And join

#TeamVan

!

I’ll see you on Crossfire tonight,

September 10 at 6:30 PM ET

/3:30 PM PT!

Thanks,

Van

P.S. One of the heated topics we’ll be discussing tonight is Syria. I’ve already

been vocal on why we should hold off on attacks, which you can watch

here

 and

here

. I'd love to hear what you think.
