NZ Democrats Party In A New President


The New Zealand chapter of Americans Overseas for Kerry-Edwards announced today that they will be hosting a Victory Party 3 November at JJ Murphy & Co. Irish Pub at 119 - 123 Cuba Street, Wellington at 6 PM. US citizens and will be gathering to watch the returns on live television as the polls in California are closing.

Ronald Nelson, New Zealand Chair of Americans Overseas for Kerry-Edwards (www.AOKerry.com) said "John Kerry is seeing a real surge of support across America, particularly in the swing states of Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
