Oreo Mobile in Des Moines on Tuesday
Tuesday, Oct. 4, 12:00 noon: "The Oreo Mobile in Des Moines!," Nollen Plaza, 3rd and Locust, Des Moines. Catch these visuals of U.S. budget priorities and military spending. The Oreo Mobile will be making other appearances in Central Iowa this week.


Affectionately called the "OreoMobile" by its creator, Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben and Jerry's™, the 12-foot stacks of giant Oreo cookies, towed on a flatbed trailer, represent how much of our federal taxes go to education, kids healthcare, job training, the Pentagon, and more.

In 15-minute shows in towns across the country, using the giant Oreos as props, OreoMobile driver Aaron Rubin demonstrates how the American people, including the citizens of Iowa, want their federal taxes spent and how this squares with how Congress currently allocates its budget.
The OreoMobile show explains how Congress can easily and safely realign its federal spending priorities with those of the citizens of Iowa and the American people.

And the show demonstrates how sweet this shift in federal spending would be for the people of Iowa.

1. Cool!
I went to see it in CR not too long ago. If anyone missed it, here's your second chance; it's worth the trip.

And Aaron gave us free Oreos.
