On the Road Again
Posted by Jesse Berney on July 11, 2005 at 05:25 PM

The Governor and I are heading back out on the road this week. First up is Madison on Wednesday to attend a fundraiser for the Wisconsin State Party. I've been told some good bratwurst can be found in Madison, so I'm looking forward to the trip.

On Thursday morning, we address the NAACP conference in Milwaukee, and then it's on to the Denver area for a rally to help the Colorado Democratic Party. Tickets are just $50 and you can go to click here to sign up for the event.

New day, new city. On Friday we travel to Boise for an afternoon picnic to help the good Democrats of Idaho keep fighting. Buy your tickets and learn more about the event here. Speaking of learning, I read somewhere that the square dance is the official dance of Idaho, I wonder if that is true.

Most people have the weekends off, but by then we're just getting started. Saturday we attend an event in Salt Lake City and jet off to Great Falls, Montana for the state's annual convention. Click here for more info.

This is going to be a good week and I am really looking forward to these trips. Come on out and say hello.

5. Mehlman and Senslessbrenner at the same NAACP convention?

You couldn't pay me to go, even if I was a CP.

Though I'd go protest for free, I gayrontee. Unfortunately, I have made plans for Thursday that preclude a trip to Milwaukee.


edited to add link to DU post on Senslessbrenner's visit to the convention.
