DNC To be Held In Charlotte, NC
Email (From my email)

Posted on 02/01/2011 8:30:42 PM PST by Catsrus

For some reason, I'm on the Democrat mailing list, and I received this from Michelle Obama.

I am thrilled to make sure you are the first to hear some very exciting news. Charlotte, North Carolina, will host the 46th Democratic National Convention in 2012.

Charlotte is a city marked by its southern charm, warm hospitality, and an "up by the bootstraps" mentality that has propelled the city forward as one of the fastest-growing in the South. Vibrant, diverse, and full of opportunity, the Queen City is home to innovative, hardworking folks with big hearts and open minds. And of course, great barbecue.

Barack and I spent a lot of time in North Carolina during the campaign -- from the Atlantic Coast to the Research Triangle to the Smoky Mountains and everywhere in between. Barack enjoyed Asheville so much when he spent several days preparing for the second presidential debate that our family vacationed there in 2009.

And my very first trip outside of Washington as First Lady was to Fort Bragg, where I started my effort to do all we can to help our heroic military families.

All the contending cities were places that Barack and I have grown to know and love, so it was a hard choice. But we are thrilled to be bringing the convention to Charlotte.

We hope many of you can join us in Charlotte the week of September 3rd, 2012. But if you can't, we intend to bring the spirit of the convention -- as well as actual, related events to your community and even your own backyard.

More than anything else, we want this to be a grassroots convention for the people. We will finance this convention differently than it's been done in the past, and we will make sure everyone feels closely tied in to what is happening in Charlotte. This will be a different convention, for a different time.

To help us make sure this is a grassroots convention -- The People's Convention -- we need to hear from you. We want to know what you'd like to see at next year's convention, how and where you plan on watching it -- and the very best way we can engage your friends and neighbors.

C, please share your input with us right now -- how can we make The People's Convention belong to you and your community?

It was going to be in St. Louis, but Senator Claire McCaskill thought it would "complicate her re-election campaign," so she asked Obama to move it.

I bet Barry’s babymomma is tickled $hitle$$ that she’ll be able to visit the NASCAR museum and Loew’s Speedway while she’s in Charlotte.

Reminds me of the time Scott Brown called his seat...’The People’s Seat”. Need anymore proof from a 2-faced RINO?

I live about an hour from Charlotte, and expect it to look like Denver when they were through in September 2008.

They are stealing a page from Tony Blair when he referred to Princess Diana as “the People’s princess.”

How long will it be before the DNC starts calling Barry “the People’s president?”
