Bus report - hot off the press

[thomas-in-ky]

Rand's bus just pulled out from his second stop in Lewis County, where he and his wife Kelly and his three boys received a warm reception from 30 or 40 regular folks at both stops. It was the middle of a work day, but I noticed that we had a school teacher, a bus driver, a bulk truck driver, a bank president, a factory manager, three preachers, many retirees, stay-at-home moms, a purple heart veteran from Afghanistan, and several farmers turn out to listen to his message of constitutionally based government. I was glad to see that our republican county chair even showed up and promised he would back Rand if he won the primary. (that's about as good as it gets with a party chair, I have discovered.) Rand didn't just speak... he must have answered several dozen questions one-on-one and went deep into a macro-economic discussion with the bank president and a retiree who used to sell securities.

Rand's grass root support is strong here - several picked up a yard sign and a bumper sticker before they left wearing their "Rand Fan" stickers. I heard an 80 year old lady say "I've never put a yard sign in my yard before, but I'm going to this time." Clearly, some people are just flat-out ignoring Grayson's TV (and mail) smear campaign... since they know the smear campaign is financed by AIG lobbyists and those primarily interested in maintaining the status quo. Rand will need more money to run the new anti-big-gov't ad... it's a good counter to the smear.

Well, that's the update. I'm charged up by the visit if you can't tell ! That bus was gi-normous !

Thanks Thomas!

A tip of my hat to you too as I know you've been an active worker there.

Thanks for your work in helping Rand's campaign out. I wish some of this Libertarian spirit would penetrate California.
