The Democratic National Convention is August 25-28 in Denver, Colorado. Labor Day Weekend is August 29-September 1. That gives the working class people of America plenty of time to rent these DVDs in celebration of bringing change to America during the 2008 Presidential Election Campaigns. Whether you are planning a Labor Day Weekend staycation, a Labor Day Weekend BBQ party, making travel plans for that last summer holiday weekend, or just wanting reasons to vote for Barack Obama, below is a list of the best movies you can rent on DVD for the big Democratic week in August. Since the Republicans planned their Republican National Convention for Labor Day Weekend, that gives Democrats even more spare time over Labor Day to watch these working class movies.
