Jamie Selzler's News from Headquarters
Fellow Democrats,
Great news! As you've likely heard by now, Senator Barack Obama has agreed to be the keynote speaker for our state Democratic-NPL Convention, being held in Grand Forks on April 4-6. A big "thank you" goes to Senator Kent Conrad, who as the first Senator outside of Illinois to endorse Obama, was able to extend the invitation and highlight the value of visiting fellow Democrats in North Dakota. Senator Obama will be speaking at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, April 4th.
Over the next few weeks, we'll be releasing information about how you can attend this great event. The best way to attend, and the only way to get up-front floor seating, is as a Delegate or Alternate from your District. Keep an eye on our website later this afternoon for a list of those Districts (and contact information for their Chair) where there are still spots. While attending the Convention, we invite you to join us for our banquet on Saturday night. For those 30 years old or younger, you are welcome to participate in the "Democratic Leadership Institute", which is a convention-within-a-convention designed specifically for young people. We'll have details on our website for everything this afternoon.
For those who would like to attend Senator Obama's speech as a spectator, we'll announce a process next week to do that. Keep an eye on our website, and we'll also announce it to the media, and via this column, as well.
Have a great day,
Jamie Selzler, Executive Director
