Wow … what a day in Missouri. It’s Day 11 of the Tour, and while we are tired, cranky, and irritable (then again, what do you expect from folks who are locked in a bus for 11 days … of course, the only thing missing to make this trip “extra special” is a bunk for all the PR folks from Wal-Mart who keep trailing us)… it was another fantastic day in the movement to change America.
We had an incredible event in downtown St. Louis, with the arch in the background and over 200 supporters for the event – we like to call it a press conference/rally with U.S. Senate Candidate Claire McCaskill - on why Wal-Mart needs to change for the better. It really was an incredible sight to see.
Unfortunately, the new security rules and lines in Kansas City held Claire up. Still, she sent an incredible statement of support for the movement and the fight for a better America – it was read by State Representative Clint Zweifel.
Well, were off to Chicago, one of the great cities in America, for Saturday's town hall with Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky. Hopefully, with some sleep (actually, who’s kidding who) we will be ready to go ...
…either way … the bus rolls and on … and so does the movement.
