"Moving America Forward" Rally

The Honorable Kathleen Sebelius To Attend a "Moving America Forward" Rally at the University of Maryland

WASHINGTON, DC - The Honorable Kathleen Sebelius will headline a rally at 5:45 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, September 28 at the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland as President Barack Obama kicks off a series of "Moving America Forward" organizing rallies at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin. With critical midterm elections in less than two months, President Obama and Kathleen Sebelius will lay out the stakes for the country and the clear choice for voters this November: whether to support Democratic leaders and continue to make progress for American families and small businesses-or to return to the failed, Bush-era policies that nearly drove the nation into a second Great Depression. Sebelius will stress the need for young voters in particular to be engaged in the political process and to vote in the elections this fall.

Following the opening program, Kathleen Sebelius will link into a telecast of President Obama's remarks at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, joining more than one hundred campus-based watch parties around the country.

Also on Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden, DNC Chairman Tim Kaine, Hilda Solis and Ron Kirk will attend similar events at college campuses across the country to engage and mobilize young voters.

Since taking office in January 2009, the Obama Administration has made major strides on behalf of young people nationwide-including streamlining the student loan system to eliminate predatory lenders, increasing the size of Pell Grants, reforming health care to permit young people to stay on their parents' insurance plans until the age of 26, and strengthening credit card regulations that protect college students from excessive interest rates and fees. 

Organizing rally will focus on engaging college students and young voters; Among more than 100 campus-based watch parties scheduled nationwide
