DNC Fall Meeting to Be Postponed Until A Later Date

The Democratic National Committee announced today that the Fall DNC meeting scheduled for September 8-10 has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a later time TBD.

Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement:

"This week our nation suffered a great tragedy when the worst natural disaster in the history of our country forever changed the lives of so many of our fellow Americans.

"It simply would not be appropriate to move ahead with the DNC meeting as planned while so many of our fellow Americans are suffering. Instead, this is a time for us to come together as one community and focus our attention on ways we can help our friends, families and fellow Americans.

"For those of us not in the gulf region, we can't even begin to fully imagine what people there are experiencing, but we can do our part to make sure the victims of this tragedy know they are not alone and that we can and we will get through this together."
