I've noticed that in the past more cities were sites of NFB conventions
whereas since about 2004 or so the only cities I've heard where conventions
are have been either Dallas, Atlanta whereas in years past I've heard that
cities as Kansas, Houston, Denver and San Francisco I think was once site of
a convention.

You know, it might take some bit of nagotiation, but I would love to
see National convention in San Francisco. I mean, think of the
possibilities... You can have people touring the city, students could
visit both San Francisco state and UC Berkley, Guide dogs for the
blind is basically right across the goldengate bridge, oh, and did I
mention the goldengate bridge? you can have the march crossing the
goldengate bridge.
and for those people who like baseball and tend to visit the ball
yard... AT&T Park is about as pretty of a park as they come. you can
take the bus and find some good food about anywhere in the city.
Not to mention that you could get alot of attention by just being in san
fran.
Besides, one of our historically great leaders came from northern
california.
I think that's all amazing reasons to make a national convention
a golden gate event.

"And if you will join me in this improbable quest, if you feel destiny
calling, and see as I see, a future of endless possibility stretching
before us;
if you sense, as I sense, that the time is now to shake off our
slumber, and slough off our fear, and make good on the debt we owe
past and future generations,
then I'm ready to take up the cause, and march with you, and work with
you. Together, starting today, let us finish the work that needs to be
done, and
usher in a new birth of freedom on this Earth."- Baraq Obama
