It is my great honor to have been chosen as a delegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
I come to this convention with my heart in my hands, filled with pride about my country and its promises to our young people, and filled with hope that we can make better promises and keep them.
My father, who came to this country as a young boy from Italy, will be joining me as my official guest at the Convention. I come for him, who left everything he knew to make a better life for his children, and I come for my own son, in the hopes that I can make his life better.
