Hundreds turned out in front of Cincinnati’s City Hall at noon today. Five hours later, hundreds more converged on Dayton’s beautiful Montgomery County Courthouse Square.

In both cases, our press conferences just missed Mother Nature’s rain showers. But, the skies are clear now as we head to the cornfields of Indiana and Illinois on our way to the Show Me State (that’s Missouri for those of you who don’t keep up on your state mottos).

Dozens of local politicians spoke out in support of WakeUpWalMart.com at today’s press conferences, including three Congressional Candidates (John Cranley, Victoria Wulsin and Stephanie Studebaker).

The bus is full of energy and excitement as we cross the Indiana state line. We were expecting a relatively small crowd for two quick press conferences, and hundreds of people showed up in Cinci and Dayton.

If you live near St. Louis, come on out tomorrow night for a community meeting at Schlafy’s Bottleworks. We’ll be holding a press conference on Friday at noon downtown as well. Can’t wait to see the Gateway to the West.
