IAFF to Webcast Presidential Forum

Presidential hopefuls seeking the International Association of Fire Fighters' endorsement in 2008 will address thousands of IAFF leaders and members at the IAFF Presidential Forum March 14. The forum will be available in streaming video on the IAFF Web site via time-delayed webcast several few hours after the start of the live event.

  • U.S. Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.)
  • U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.)
  • U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.)
  • Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.)

  • U.S. Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.)
  • U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.)
