Think Youth is going to Denver!

Think Youth receives credentials to attend the 2008 Democratic National Convention in August.

In April we submitted an application to attend the Democratic National Convention in August of 2008. Yesterday, we formally heard back from the DNC, and they have invited us to attend the convention. We were accepted as part of the “General DemConvention Blogger Pool” which consists of “local, state and national political bloggers as well as niche bloggers.”

We would like to thank the DNC for accepting us, and we look forward to covering the convention here on our blog, with articles, podcasts, and videos and do so all while we introduce the Democratic nominee (whoever they may be) to America. As teens and young adults, this will allow us to cover the convention from a unique perspective.

We can’t wait to have a united party during the convention, and it will be a time where the wounds of our party will heal. We will head into November stronger than ever, and we can’t wait!
