Congressman Cohen, Councilman Lowery Stand Together To Show Democratic Unity

Congressman Steve Cohen and Memphis City Councilman Myron Lowery held a joint press conference with several Obama and Clinton delegates to the Democratic National Convention in a show of party unity.

"Hillary Clinton shows that a woman can be elected president of the United States.  She ran a great campaign. And Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, shows that this country is getting closer to being a more perfect union," Congressman Cohen said.

"We are united behind one candidate --- Barack Obama.  The Clinton delegates are here.  The Obama delegates are here.  We’re here to say that there is no infighting.  Everyone is in complete and full agreement that we will all work as hard as we can for the election of Barack Obama in November," said Memphis City Councilman Myron Lowery.

Also present were Democratic Nation Convention delegates David Upton, Betsy Reid, Lexie Carter, Cherry Davis, Henry Hooper, Eddie Jones, and Memphis City Councilwoman Janis Fullilove.

"There will be a Democratic Party Headquarters open sometimes toward the fall for the fall campaign.  We want all the young people that Barack Obama has inspired, we want all the people that Hillary Clinton has inspired so much to come and get involved," Congressman Cohen said before he and Lowery led the crowd on hand in a "Yes we can" chant.
