LEE GONZALES DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION BLOG
**********************************************

The Democratic nomination of Barack Obama as the next President of
the United States is just afew days away!

To have the chance to represent local Democrats at the Democratic
National Convention is exhilarating and humbling. Highly thought-
provoking is another way of describing what I'm feeling in
preparation to do my best as a convention delegate.



We are witnessing an unprecedented transformation of American
politics, along with a realignment of the electorate in the quest for
the Presidency. The results of Nov. 4 will be a defining moment for
our nation.



Through this BLOG I plan to provide daily updates on a delegate's
role and other convention happenings. I recognize the value of this
opportunity to dialogue and work with Democrats from all walks of
life.



We all view the world though many lenses and individual experiences.
In my case, I'm a son,

husband, father, grandfather, proud of my family, university
graduate, a prideful American & patriot, proud of my ethnic heritage
and an elected state representative. Because of these motivations, I
am very passionate about serving our community and moving it forward.



Historian David McCullough eloquently observes in the following
passage about our nation's history, "The American experiment was from
its start an unfulfilled promise. There was much work to be done.
There were glaring flaws to correct, unfinished business to attend
to. Improvements and necessary adjustments to devise in order to keep
pace with the onrush of growth and change and expanding
opportunities."



From my perspective, this is why the 2008 Democratic National
Convention is so vitally important because it is an essential
component of the course of human events in our great nation. So
please stay tuned and share your thoughts.
