As the Democratic National Convention draws nearer, Sen. Hillary Clinton is emphasizing her desire to have her supporters voices heard at a Denver demonstration.

At a California reception last week, Clinton said that she believes her supporters deserve to be heard at the convention which begins August 25 in Denver where Obama will be officially nominated as the party's candidate.
"Because I know from just what I'm hearing, that there's incredible pent-up desire," Clinton said in the video posted on YouTube.
"And I think that people want to feel like, 'OK, it's a catharsis, we're here, we did it, and then everybody get behind Senator Obama.' That is what most people believe is the best way to go."
Clinton is scheduled to deliver a speech on the second day of the convention, which is also, marks 88th anniversary of the day women were granted the right to vote.
"Since the delegate count is so close," a questioner asked her at last weekend's event, "what if you are called up for nomination and what if you do win by a narrow margin?".
"That is not going to happen, not going to happen. Look, what we want to have happen is for Sen. Obama to be nominated by a unified convention of Democrats," she replied.
"The best way I think -- and I could be wrong -- but the best way I think to do that is to have a strategy so that my delegates feel like they've had a role and that their legitimacy has been validated and that kind of ... you know, there is a catharsis," she said.
The city of Denver has issued a parade permit to Colorado Women Count/Women Vote, which will also team with 18 Million Voices, a national pro-Clinton group, for a rally in a still-undetermined Denver park.
"We just want to celebrate Hillary's accomplishments and what she's done for the country as a whole and women in particular," parade organizer Katherine Vincent of Louisville, Colo., told Rocky Mountain News.
