Platform Co-Chair Tells Convention American Dream at Risk

Former New Mexico Attorney and Platform Co-Chair General Patricia Madrid just delivered her comments on the DNC platform process from the main podium. She told the audience New Mexico is a battleground State that Obama will win.

She told the crowd the platform included more than 1600 hearings and that 30,000 Democrat Americans had expressed their concerns and their hopes while developing the 2008 Platform.

"Each succeeding generation should have the opportunity, through hard work and service, to enjoy a brighter future than the last."
