Also speaking will be Denise King, Chair of the New York State Democratic Executive Committee and Co-Chair of the Dean for America Campaign in New York, as well as State Senate Minority Leader David Paterson. We have a full agenda and it promises to be a busy and fun filled weekend.Democracy for New York and Democracy for America are moving forward, growing the grassroots, organizing and preparing to join hands in strengthening our Democratic Party. We're on our way to taking our country back!"
