Republican Convention Changes

Monday at the Republican Convention will be short and sweet. Delegates will meet from 3 to 5:30 pm Central Time for the purpose of conducting business only. There will be no roll call tomorrow and no political speeches blasting Democrats.

"We want to be respectful and make sure that nothing we do distracts from the activities in the Gulf region," said campaign manager Rick Davis  "There will be some things we will have to do, but we will be looking for an opportunity to help. We will do what we can to raise money for the charities in the gulf coast region."

John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, asked delegates to "take off their Republican hats and put on their American hats." All organizations that have planned events around the convention are being asked to focus their attention on raising money for hurricane victims.

"We have a  request by our candidate to be as responsive as we can be to a natural disaster unfolding," Davis said said. " A horrible storm is bearing down on the Gulf. People should be more concerned about that than the politics."

He spoke to Kid Reporter Jack Greenberg September 1, the first night of the convention. Hammons was 19 when he was elected Mayor of Muskogee, and when he spoke to Jack. He turned 20 on the 4th night of the convention when Senator John McCain officially accepted the nomination as the Republican presidential candidate. Photo by Janey Ranlett
