* "Country First": 2008 Republican National Convention to Highlight
Service, Reform, Prosperity and Peace *
/ Convention Announces Program Themes and Speaker Lineup /
*SAINT PAUL, Minn.* - The 2008 Republican National Convention today
announced the themes and preliminary lineup of speakers for the program
of events that will run Sept. 1-4. The convention's overall theme,
"Country First," reflects John McCain's remarkable record of leadership
and service to America. Each day of proceedings will center on a
touchstone theme that has defined John McCain's life and will be central
to his vision for leading our nation forward as president.
"Our convention will showcase a cross-section of leaders who will
highlight John McCain's long commitment to putting our country first --
before self-interest or politics," said McCain 2008 Communications
Director Jill Hazelbaker. "The speakers will address John McCain's
unmatched record of service and sacrifice for America, and his vision
for moving our nation forward to keep us safe and get our economy back
on track."
The roster of speakers announced today includes John McCain, Mrs. Cindy
McCain, 10 current and former Republican governors, five current and
former U.S. Senators and two well-respected businesswomen. Their remarks
will echo the themes that have been selected for each of the
convention's four days: *service, reform, prosperity and peace*.
"We are excited to announce this slate of speakers, each of whom shares
John McCain's love of country and commitment to serving a cause greater
than one's own self-interest. Their remarks will be a testament to
Senator McCain's unparalleled record of service and sacrifice for
America and his readiness to lead as commander in chief and move America
forward," said Maria Cino, president and CEO of the 2008 Republican
