Believe in America Tour
Here's the most I've found on the tour so far, at least you can see if he might be in your area. There's another article where they'll end up in WA and OR, so that'll be in 2 weeks. Wohoo for me!!

"The trip across America will span two weeks, cover over 3,500 miles and include a fleet of buses, trains and boats. It will kick-off with a send-off celebration in Boston on the Friday after the Democratic convention, barnstorming through 21 states in every region of the country: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

From the Great Lakes to the Grand Canyon, from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains, Kerry and Edwards will meet with workers and business owners who are creating and keeping jobs in America, hold front porch events, town halls and rallies in towns and communities across the country to highlight key parts of their plan for America’s future, and visit historic sites and local favorites as they talk to Americans about how they will build a stronger, more secure America.

The “Believe in America” tour will kick-off with events in the first days in Miami, Orlando and Jacksonville, Florida; Dearborn, Flint and Grand Rapids, Michigan; Newburgh, New York; Zanesville and Bowling Green, Ohio; Scranton, Harrisburg and Greensburg, Pennsylvania; Wheeling, West Virginia; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. More details on specific events and locations will be announced in the coming days."

1. I was at
the Believe in America rally in Greensburg, PA. Kerry and Edwards were both so relaxed and confident. There were about 10,000 people there, in the pouring rain, while Bush's INDOOR rally in Pittsburgh got only 6,000 something. Overall it was a great experience. I even got to meet Teresa Heinz Kerry!!!

2. I was at the rally
in Greensburg, PA. It was fantastic. There were over 10,000 supporters and NO anti-Kerry protesters. Kerry, Teresa, and Edwards were all so relaxed and composed. The crowd was great, too. You didn't even need to show them your ticket!

I met Teresa after the rally and spoke with her. My mother and I complimented her on her great convention speech. She smiled real big and said "Thank you, dear." She was very nice and nothing like the nasty person the Republicans paint her as.

The "liberal" media won't shut up about Teresa's comments. Like telling that obnoxious Trib guy to "shove it" and saying that the disrupters at Kerry's rally wanted "four more years of hell". If that is a big issue in the election then people are even dumber than I thought.

But don't worry, the Republicans would never stoop so low as to make "opinionated" comments.
All Dick Cheney said was "Go f*** yourself", and he wasn't in an important place or anything, just the Senate floor.

And Bush just called someone "A major league *** hole" in front of a huge crowd of people. How could he have known the mike was on?

It's a good thing there are so many honorable Republicans in the world.
