(Denver, August 27) - Michelle Obama added her voice to a chorus of leaders at the second of two DNCC African-American Caucus meetings, held August 27th at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, CO.

Michelle Obama While Monday's caucus focused on urban renewal, Wednesday's meeting highlighted the importance of voter registration. Ms. Obama told an audience of one thousand delegates and attendees to bring home the energy from the convention, to knock on doors, and to get eligible voters registered to vote. She said "getting Barack Obama elected President of the United States won't be easy, but just because it's not easy doesn't mean it's not possible."

The caucus panel included Donna Brazile, veteran Democratic political strategist; Eric Holder, Former Deputy Attorney General and advisor to the Obama Campaign; Rick Wade, Senior Advisor to the Obama Campaign; and Rev. Al Sharpton. The audience was encouraged to start working now to elect Barack Obama President of the United States, because every vote counts.

The panelists offered step-by-step directions on how to start the process of getting unengaged voters interested in the election, registered to vote, and then to vote on election day, November 4, 2008. Rev. Al Sharpton said he's taking a close look at the voting rolls in Florida and Ohio, states where votes were in dispute in 2000 and 2004.
