Democrats to Hold Spring Meeting In New Orleans
Washington, DC - Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean announced today that the 2006 DNC Spring Meeting will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana from April 20-22, 2006. The decision to hold the next DNC meeting in New Orleans is part of the Democratic Party's commitment to rebuilding the Gulf Coast and rebuilding the American community. DNC members from around the country will gather at the Sheraton New Orleans hotel, overlooking the Mississippi river, for the first of their biannual meetings of 2006.
DNC Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement:
"Today I am pleased to announce the Democratic Party's small effort to help rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region. I look forward to joining Democrats from all across the country in a revitalized New Orleans for the 2006 DNC Spring Meeting.
"Democrats are committed to rebuilding the Gulf Coast, and to rebuilding America's sense of community. Our nation was founded on the notion that we have a responsibility to each other, a shared investment in one another, and the belief that we should leave no one behind. The American people are heroes for coming together the way they did after Hurricane Katrina, and being extraordinarily generous in a time of crisis. We are honored to be a part of that. Together, America can do better."

Mods this is an official press release from the DNC. The press is just getting this, too, so I've posted it here without a news source. Hope that's ok. This is a positive step for the rebuilding of New Orleans and I thought it should be in LBN.
