2005 WesPAC Annual Meeting Virtual Conference

The 2005 WesPAC Annual Meeting on November 15th was a rousing success and I'd like to take a moment to thank all of the participants who traveled to Washington, DC.

For those who were not able to attend, we've created this 'virtual' conference so that you could share some of the insights from the meeting. Session 1: Winning in the Red Regions is ready for you. Session 2 will be available next week. Use the links below for audio, photos and transcripts of some of these important sessions.

I also want to share with you my efforts to provide continued leadership among Democrats on a strong national security message through consultation with elected officials as well as media appearances. I will continue to campaign on behalf of candidates and state parties all over the country in both red and blue states,

The Annual Meeting hightlighted the three primary goals of WesPAC:

• Communicating a strong national security message for Democrats
  
• Developing a winning strategy for elections in Southern states
  
• Helping candidates across the nation who are running for local, state, and federal office

It is clear that the Democratic Party is poised for a watershed year in 2006.  But to assure success, it is imperative that we work together resolutely to demonstrate why the American people are significantly better off with Democrats in control of the national agenda.  It is essential that we provide strong leadership in the national security debate.
