WASHINGTON – An “open call” has been announced for people in Tampa, Richmond and six other cities to record questions and their personal stories for possible airing Aug. 25 through 27 at the Democratic convention in Denver.
Those chosen will have their “interactive dialogue” or questions aired and answered live during a special program each night from the Convention floor in front of thousands of delegates in the Convention hall, millions of Americans watching the Convention at home on television and millions more watching online.
Open calls to record these videos are also to take place in Atlanta; Columbus, Ohio; Denver; Detroit; Philadelphia.; Raleigh, N.C. The exact times and locations of those tapings will soon be posted here.
“As Barack Obama has said, this is not our Convention – this is America’s Convention,” said Governor Howard Dean, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, in announcing the effort. “And now, at a critical moment in our history, Americans will have their concerns addressed, challenges listened to and their questions answered live by our country’s leaders. We want Americans to be at the center of this Convention, and ‘America’s Town Hall’ will allow us to do just that.”
Also starting today through Wednesday Aug. 27, text and video questions can also be submitted online also at www.DemConvention.com/townhall, though participants are encouraged to submit their questions as early as possible.
