Start: Aug 28 2008 - 6:00pm

End: Aug 28 2008 - 9:00pm

From the Thurston County Democrats:

On Thursday night, the Democratic National Convention will move to INVESCO Field at Mile High so that more Americans can be a part of the fourth night of the Convention as Barack Obama accepts the Democratic nomination.

Those of us who can't attend the event in Denver can watch history being made with friends at Ramblin Jack's restaurant.

The exact time of the acceptance speech has not be published yet but we expect it will be around 7:00pm. Please join us (after stopping by Mike Kreidler's General Election Kick-off event!) for this momentous event.

Hosted by: Senator Karen Fraser - Representative Brendan Williams - County Commissioner Cathy Wolfe - Candidate Sandra Romero - TCD Member, Andrew Ryder - Thurston County Democrats

News from DNC

I won't begrudge anyone too much for supporting Obama, given the other major candidate. I served as a precinct delegate to represent Obama at the County Convention. But when are Americans going to wake up and realize how this "two-party duopoly" is affecting life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness - not too mention social and environmental degradation?

Go Obama!? - I am not so sure about this. Someone help me out with this.

I think we need a direct answer - a confrontation - to the George W. Bush Presidency's rush-toward-fascism before cheering for an electoral remedy.
