This week, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) delivered the keynote address at a luncheon of more than 400 board members, staff and supporters of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization.

The Human Rights Campaign also extended invitations to former Senator John Edwards, Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. All three were unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts.

Governor Bill Richardson is scheduled to deliver the keynote address at this year's Human Rights Campaign Los Angeles Gala Dinner to be held on March 24, 2007. For more information on the Los Angeles dinner, please visit: www.hrc.org

The Human Rights Campaign has not made any endorsement or taken a position on any potential 2008 presidential candidates. Invitations are extended to candidates of both parties. The Human Rights Campaign has a thorough vetting process for political candidates and when any possible endorsement is made that information will be released publicly.
