(Indianapolis, IN) – Barack Obama’s Indiana campaign announced today that Senator Obama will return to the state on Wednesday to hold a Summit on Confronting 21st Century Threats at Purdue University in West Lafayette.
Senator Obama will be joined by Indiana Senator Evan Bayh and former Georgia Senator Sam Nunn.
