Tomorrow we begin our historic Democratic National Convention. I hope you plan to watch, as we highlight Barack Obama's inspiring American story, the values he holds dear, and his vision for taking our country in a New Direction.
Tomorrow night I have the honor of speaking to the Convention. I am excited to discuss some of our proud Democratic achievements and our plans to work with President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden next year in ending the Bush-Cheney status quo forever.
As one of our best grassroots supporters, I wanted to give you a special preview of my speech tonight. I will speak about some of the progress of our New Direction Congress, including the first minimum wage increase in more than a decade, adopting the 9/11 Commission recommendations, and the largest increase in college aid since 1944.
However, I will also speak about the monumental choice confronting America in this election. It is a choice between two roads. One road leads us down the same dangerous path that George Bush's policies have set us on. The other road takes us to a new place of opportunity and innovation under Barack Obama's leadership and a larger Democratic Majority in Congress.
I cannot thank you enough for all of your support throughout this campaign already. Please enjoy all of the speeches this week and help us send a powerful message of strength, unity, and determination to take our country in a New Direction.
