Tonight on Hollywood Clout we'll hear from Queen Noor of Jordan.

Plus we'll take more calls on last nights Month of Truth show. And investigative reporter extraordinaere Greg Palast stops by with a report, "$300 Million from Chavez to FARC a Fake."

Bush recently accused Barack Obama of "appeasement" (yes, of course he was referring to Obama in those remarks). We remind you tonight that the Bush family is responsible for much worse than appeasement in it's Nazi-laden past. Webster Tarpley has the scoop. Check out his book for free online, George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography. More good reading at from Guardian.

Its Tuesday which means its Candidate Night on CLout.   During 2006  we were able to raise over 200,000 dollars for progressive candidates and this time around we hope to get more then a million dollars.  To start things off we have Benjamin Rahn, Co-Founder and Chair of Act BLUE.   Inaddition to his work with ActBlue, Ben is currently the ResidentPhysics Tutor at Harvard's Pforzheimer House, where he aids Harvard
undergraduates in navigating personal and academic challenges and
builds the House's intellectual and social community. Ben holds a B.A.

Launched in June 2004, ActBlue created and deployed the next
generation of online fundraising technology, and has raised over $45
million for more than 2550 Democratic candidates and committees. In 2006
ActBlue helped channel the rising tide of grassroots commitment
and energy to re-establish Democratic power in Congress. In
2007-08 we will scale to raise $100 million, expand our scope
beyond raising funds to include recruiting volunteers, and
reshape the state legislative landscape for the 2010
redistricting.
