The Democratic National Convention is now behind us; the Republican National Convention starts on Monday; and then, next Saturday, September 6th comes the
third convention -- the National Family Convention in Los Angeles, Chicago and Birmingham.
There will be plenty of news to report from those three cities, as more than 13,000 working families come together to make history and unveil the national family platform.
But for now, it's worth taking a look back at this week's convention in Denver.
New America Media has a great roundup of reports from ethnic and alternative media sources. Among the stories worth reading:
