Western Union and Black Eagle Wines Partner for VIP Delegate Reception.

Black Eagle Wines is proud to be served at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) by top sponsor Western Union at the VIP Delegate Reception. Both the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Sauvignon Blanc will be offered to attendees.

Black Eagle Wines hopes the wine served at the DNC will not only be enjoyed during toasts and well wishes, but will bring forward the issue of the importance of union labor, fair wages and benefits, and dignity in the fields. Proceeds from every sale of Black Eagle Wines go directly back to the United Farm Workers (UFW) for their organizing efforts, to help more farm workers become less dependent on government assistance and increase hourly wages.

The DNC will host delegates and super delegates from around the nation for three days to rally support behind Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama. The Democrats plan to have a green convention complete with recycling and serving foods that are locally grown, which will pair nicely with our wines.

Western Union has been committed to bringing family and friends closer together since 1851. They have a commitment to integrity, partnership, opportunity, passion and teamwork. Western Union has made it possible for people all around the world to transfer money to loved ones in need.

The DNC will be in Denver, Colorado from August 25th through August 28th this summer.

Black Eagle Wines are made from exceptional fruit picked by farm workers under UFW contract. For more information on Black Eagle Wines, visit www.blackeaglewines.com.

ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports: Traveling though Montana on Monday, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., made his first stop as a presidential candidate to an Indian reservation - and got a little more than expected.

Obama was adopted as an honorary member into the family within the Crow tribe that inhabited the reservation - who gave the presidential candidate a new name and new parents.

"Awe Kooda bilaxpak Kuuxshish" was the honorary name given to Obama meaning, "one who helps people throughout the land."

Obama was escorted out to the stage in Crow Agency, Montana arm-in-arm between his adopted parents: Sunny and Mary Black Eagle.

Obama thanked his honorary new parents – for giving him another name to tack on to the list, "I like my new name Barack Black Eagle. I mean that's a good name."

The Crow tribe does adoption ceremonies for special dignitaries who visit the reservation. The Black Eagle family was chosen to adopt Obama because there are one of only five living generations on the reservation. With life expectancy so low, it is sign of great fortune and honor to have several generations living in the family.
