WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 2004

McCain Feingold has changed the way national conventions are organized. On behalf of the Democratic Party, Terry McAuliffe has granted exclusive rights to Financial Innovations, Inc. (FII) of Cranston, R.I., to produce Convention 2004 Commemorative Program, www.dncprogram.com.

This is the first time since 1976 that an officially sanctioned program will be available at the Democratic National Convention to be held July 26 - 29, 2004, in Boston. The Program will be distributed to all Convention attendees, guests, throughout the City of Boston and available to State organizations for distribution locally.

"We are very pleased and excited to be re-introducing this valued and time-honored tradition at the Convention," states Mark Weiner, President of FII. "We are proud of our long relationship with the Democratic National Committee and being granted the right to produce the program for this year's convention."

The high-quality magazine-style book is being produced in conjunction with Seidel Capital Corporation of Berwyn Heights, Md.

The sale of advertising space is on a first come, first served basis. Special pricing is also available for "advertorials" -- feature style message delivery by organizations seeking to deliver policy messages.

Featured editorial will include statements by and information on party leaders, articles of historical interest and specific Convention agenda information.
