CHICAGO, IL (RUSHPRNEWS) AUGUST 18, 2008–As you may have heard, 10 supporters will be joining me backstage before I accept the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. I’m pleased to announce that those supporters have been selected, and I wanted to tell you a little about them.
The people who make up our movement are of all different ages, races, and backgrounds — and these folks are no different.
Lenny is a former naval officer from Emerald Isle, NC. Barb is a teacher married to a farmer in Fallon, MT. James is a law student in Massillon, OH. And Anne is a retired budget analyst from Indianapolis.
John from Boulder, CO, believes developing alternative energy is the answer to an array of policy problems. And Kayla from West Fargo, ND, didn’t feel like she could ever be part of the political process — until now.
They each bring their own unique perspectives and experience, and they are united by their hunger for change.
You can read more about these amazing people below. I’m looking forward to meeting them at the Open Convention, and I hope you will join us in sharing this important moment.
If you cannot make it to Denver, you can get together with your friends and family and watch my acceptance speech at a Convention Watch Party. It’s going to be a big night, and you can join millions of supporters across the country to make it a success.
Sign up to host or attend a Convention Watch Party in your community on Thursday, August 28th:
