Obama to be Dem-NPL Keynote Speaker
Grand Forks – Senator Barack Obama will bring his message of hope and optimism to North Dakota as the keynote speaker during the Democratic-NPL nominating convention this April in Grand Forks. Senator Obama will help open the convention with a speech on Friday, April 4.
North Dakota Democrats delivered an overwhelming victory for Senator Obama in their Feb. 5th caucuses; Obama won 62 percent in the Super Tuesday voting. Senator Obama has since held the lead in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Senator Obama said, "Record numbers of North Dakotans turned out to caucus for change on February 5th, and I am proud that so many new people became a part of this process. I thank Senators Conrad and Dorgan and Congressman Pomeroy for inviting me back to the state and look forward to continue working with the North Dakota Democratic-NPL Party to strengthen our party and achieve victory in November.”
Senator Obama was invited to the Dem-NPL convention by Senator Kent Conrad, who had endorsed Obama in December, prior to Obama’s surprising victory in the Iowa caucuses. Obama has since won the endorsement of Senator Byron Dorgan, Rep. Earl Pomeroy, and three other North Dakota super-delegates.
“Senator Obama is a person of rare quality, and his message of can-do optimism and hope is one that I believe resonates in North Dakota. He shares our Midwestern values, and he can unite this country,” said Senator Conrad. “Senator Obama has shown that he has what it takes to win in states like North Dakota, Minnesota and Wyoming. He’s drawn more people to the democratic process, and that can only be good for the country.”
Senator Dorgan said: “Senator Obama has an extraordinary ability to inspire and motivate people throughout the country, and it is wonderful that he is planning to attend North Dakota’s state Democratic Convention. Like many other states, North Dakota has responded to Senator Obama’s message of hope and optimism by giving him an impressive 62 percent of the vote in our caucus this year. His presence shows that he intends to compete nation-wide for the Presidency, which is good for the country, democracy, and North Dakota.”
“North Dakota Democrats showed their strong support for Senator Obama on February 5th, and I’m thrilled to have the potential Democratic presidential nominee as the keynote speaker at our convention,” Congressman Pomeroy said. “Senator Obama has a powerful message of hope and change that resonates across party lines and across the country. I look forward to hearing him deliver that message to North Dakota Democrats at our convention in April.”
