Republican Officials Release Monday Convention Schedule
Tampa, Fla. – Asserting
that “Republicans reject the notion that America’s ‘new normal’ consists of 42
months of deep unemployment and greater debt,” Republican National Committee
Chairman Reince Priebus today announced that the theme of the Republican
National Committee’s first night will be “We Can Do Better.”
“Americans know we can do better than joblessness, poverty
and debt,” said Priebus. “This
convention will present our vision for a brighter, better future and it will
lay out an optimistic, achievable plan to make it happen.”
“Probably no four words could better sum up the conclusion
that is shared by millions of Americans as they look back on the past four
years,” said Convention CEO William Harris. “We can do better than this, and the country knows it.”
Schedule Announced on Convention Mobile App
As part of its “convention without walls” program to make
the convention open and accessible, Republican officials also released today
the convention schedule for Monday, August 27 through the convention’s mobile
app – Tampa 2012 (http://connect.gopconvention2012.com). Featured speakers for Monday include
