This just in:

Lori Lipman Brown, the Secular Coalition for America’s director and lobbyist in Washington D.C., will be featured on The Colbert Report segment “Better Know a Lobby” most likely today, Thursday, August 28 on Friday, August 29.

From the Secular Coalition for America’s site:

Secular Coalition for America director Lori Lipman Brown is being featured on The Colbert Report’s “Better Know A Lobby.” The two-hour taped interview with Stephen Colbert in his New York City studio will be condensed to a six-minute, or less, segment. We hope the final product will be humorous and possibly even informative. The Comedy Central show, which airs at 11:30pm (10:30 central time), is expected to be broadcast on Thursday (8/28).

Too bad it will be only 6 minutes long. However, this looks like it will be good exposure. Tune in and watch!

So what is Factonista?
Factoista is an online freethought advocacy organization that relies on its users for content. Through international broad-based collaboration with its users, and other groups and organizations, it strives to provide timely and comprehensive news, views, reviews, and creative multimedia on issues at the forefront of everything under the umbrella of freethought:
1. Defending civil liberties like freedoms of speech, inquiry, information, religion or lack thereof, and association
2. Opposing misinformation, pseudoscience, and quackery
3. Commenting on the intersection of religion with politics, science, human rights, and academia
4. Discussing media misinformation and reform, environmental defense, and human rights.
5., Defending and supporting the continued growth of the Internet as a central enabler of idea and information sharing, social organization, advocacy and political participation. Relevant issues include net neutrality, the social impact of the Net and various programs (e.g., the blogosphere, social networking and news aggregator applications, search engines), and means of enhancing netroots advocacy.
5. Contribute significantly to the expansion, coordination and social/political import and impact of humanism and freethought.
Factonista is about putting people before ideas, reason before superstition, and evidence before faith. It’s about being team players (i.e., putting reason, honesty, civility first), as we can achieve far more in collaboration than in isolation. And it’s about making the most of our creativity, diverse skills and backgrounds to contribute to a collective intelligence that will have influence far and wide.
