Last night we concluded our swing through Iowa with another great town hall meeting, this time in Council Bluffs. Patty Judge, Candidate for Lieutenant Governor, spoke at last night's town hall just as her running mate, Chet Culver, did earlier this week in Davenport.
We are pulling out for a breakfast meeting with supporters at Grace United Methodist Church in Omaha, Nebraska this morning. Omaha's Pancake Man will be serving breakfast.
Today marks the beginning of week three on the Change Wal-Mart, Change America Tour. By the end of this week we'll have been in Denver, CO, Pueblo, CO, Albuquerque, NM, Phoenix, AZ, Las Vegas, NV and southern California. We thought we'd take it easy this week...
For all of you out west, we'll see you soon.
Update I: Great breakfast town hall in Omaha. The famous "Pancake Man" served up some yummy flapjacks and the crowd was impressive, especially for a 9:00 AM Monday morning.
Republican state senator Doug Cunningham joined us at the church. Senator Cunningham spoke eloquently about Wal-Mart driving down overall wages, the burden placed on taxpayers, and the need to change Wal-Mart into a responsible business. It's great to see the Change Wal-Mart tour bringing together such a diverse coalition of community and political leaders.
We're off on the road to Denver now. Longest drive of the Tour thus far. We'll be working during the stop. Email us at field@wakeupwalmart.com if you want to send us thoughts or let us know the best place to stop in Nebraska for lunch.
