I think we need to post and if we wait until Monday then we miss the opportunity to get it out there before our platform announcement.   Cate and Tessa can you send final

Our thought on this. Is that if it was just a regular post there isnt much benefit. The value here is that it IS a speech reprint.  In other words " this is what i am saying to our most important state dnc leaders and this is what we believe".
Its almost a way to let people inside the room.
But i dont feel strongly about it either way. Posting isnt a home run and staying silent also has risks.

Sorry for the keyboard typos

Adding Hilary Rosen who had similar concerns but thought it might marginally help.

Cate and I recommend this be rewritten for an internet audience. It’s long for a Medium post.

Cate will edit it (thanks for the forward, Tracie!) using the post we drafted on Friday, minus the 2008 copy.  So far, seems like the key points are:

— We must unify as Democrats to support our nominee and defeat Donald Trump
— Restate the party process + commitment

Cate and I have our doubts about releasing this at all — the Internet is tough place right now for DWS content. If we feel strongly about moving forward though we’ll get working.

Aside, our Medium posts do not perform well on the weekends, so we recommend releasing this early week to maximize the number of people who see and read this.

Adding Tessa. Could you resend that attachment? It didn't come through for us.

Its still a little long but I like the idea of all the detail of how the DNC and the DNCC is getting ready.  Cutting out the Kennedy stuff would make it shorter.
