The Women of the Storm today are meeting with the people who will craft the campaign platform of the Democratic National Committee going into this fall's elections. The party's platform committee invited the group to meet with them in Cleveland.
Anne Milling says they will discuss important national issues.
"Emergency preparedness, disaster relief, infrastructure stability, and of course, protection of coastal communities," said Milling.
Women of the Storm founder Anne Milling talks about meeting with members of the DNC:
Women of the Storm is a non-partisan group, and Milling says if the Republican Party offers them the same opportunity, they will certainly take it.
"We hope we'll be invited," said Milling. "If the Republicans have a similar process, I have a feeling we will be invited."
The meeting with the DNC members also affords Women of the Storm the opportunity to make another push for the Google/YouTube presidential debate.
"We always have that in the forefront of our minds, and of course we will, of course we'll be asking for the city," Milling said, "as we have been, and hopefully we will be in touch with people who are close to Senator Obama's campaign."
According to an editorial in the July 23 edition of the New York Times, the McCain campaign has said yes to the New Orleans debate.
