The student organization Carnegie Mellon Students for Barack Obama is  
hosting a dynamic event showcasing Senator Obama’s progressive  
policies on innovation, technology, the Internet, and how these  
policies mean more jobs for Pennsylvanians.

Barack Obama has made innovation a cornerstone of his vision for  
America. Pittsburgh has also embraced advanced technologies, forward- 
looking innovators, and a trained workforce to rebuild after steel's  
collapse.

Pittsburgh's leaders will discuss their triumphs and challenges, what  
innovation means for the region, and how more economic growth would be  
possible under President Obama, on Tuesday, September 23 at 7:00 pm in  
the Alumni Concert Hall in the College of Fine Arts, Carnegie Mellon  
University.

·                     More to be announced.
Moderator:  Jon Peha, Professor at Carnegie Mellon University

All members of the audience will have the opportunity to record a
