The McCain Nation.

Below is the press release:

McCain Team -

Today we're launching a new feature called McCain Nation and we want you to be the first to know. McCain Nation is a powerful online tool, built exclusively for our supporters across the country to plan events to help spread John McCain's message.

Through the McCain Nation online headquarters you can create events, upload and invite your contacts, send out invitations, get maps and directions, and much more. You can also search for events in your area and ask hosts to attend. Connecting with other McCain supporters on the ground is crucial to our grassroots strategy and will be key to our victory in November.

Please follow this link to join McCain Nation today and host an event for John McCain! Our first national event will be held on Thursday, August 14th at 7pm ET, and we're asking you to start planning your event right away. McCain Nation events across the country will have the opportunity to interact with a prominent McCain campaign official as part of the first national event day. Event hosts will also receive a host package and have exclusive access to other resources.

If you're unable to host an event, you can also visit McCain Nation to search for events in your area to attend. And if August 14th doesn't work out with your schedule, you can plan an event at a date and time that works best for you and your guests through the online headquarters.

Please visit the McCain Nation website today. We look forward to a successful national event day on August 14th.

Thanks for your support!

Rick Davis
Campaign Manager

P.S. - Our convention is quickly approaching and you won't want to miss the excitement of watching John McCain officially accept the nomination for President of the United States. We will be organizing McCain Nation convention watching parties the evening of September 4th to watch John McCain's speech. Stay tuned for more information from the campaign.
