I'm going to see Barack Obama in Milwaukee tomorrow!
Here are the details:

Obama to Hold Rally for America’s Workers in Milwaukee Monday

Obama’s second Wisconsin trip in two weeks to include Labor Day event at Marcus Amphitheater

Madison, Wis.—U.S. Sen. Barack Obama will return to Wisconsin this Monday, Labor Day, to headline a Rally for America’s Workers in Milwaukee. The trip comes on the heels of Obama’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, where he spoke directly to America about the choice we face in this election. Obama will continue to lay out his plans to provide real relief for working families and discuss why we can’t afford four more years of the same old politics and the same old policies, which is all that John McCain is offering. The event will be held at the Marcus Amphitheater and will be open to the public, though a free ticket is required.

The visit is Obama’s second to Wisconsin in as many weeks. Last Sunday, August 24, Obama worshipped at First Lutheran Church in Eau Claire and joined area residents for a Sunday Picnic-style discussion on revitalizing our economy and lifting up America’s middle class.

Details of Monday’s event are below.

Monday September 1
Milwaukee, WI

RALLY FOR AMERICA’S WORKERS WITH BARACK OBAMA

Marcus Amphitheater
200 North Harbor Drive
Milwaukee, WI 53202

Doors Open: 3:00 PM
Program Begins: 6:00 PM

Media Coverage: The event is open to the press. For credentials please visit www.barackobama.com/mediarsvp.

The event is free and open to the public. However, tickets are REQUIRED. Members of the public are invited to pick up free tickets at the locations below beginning at Noon on Sunday until tickets run out. Tickets and space at the event are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.


I'll do a report on the event when I get back...

1. Me too....
as it happens, tomorrow is also my daughters 13th birthday and when I asked her what she wanted to do (shopping, movie, go to the waterpark) she said "I really want to go see Obama in Milwaukee" I didn't even know she was aware he's coming but apparently she read it in the paper...

5. Glad for you :-)
I wish I were there! Wiscinsin is one of the big 18--I know it will pull through! Sure hope Ohio does.

6. Lucky you~! Please post lots of pictures! Especially of Barry & Joe together!
I love those two so much. Such a good combination, especially after we see how forced McCain and Palin are.

10. How Do You Out About His Appearances?
I want to bring my two daughters to see him, who are roughly the same ages as his girls. I'm in NY so he won't be coming here so I will have to go to PA or NH. I looked on the website but couldn't find a schedule.

13. We had a great time seeing Obama and Biden yesterday.
Have a great time, and don't forget your money. There is plenty of Obama/Biden gear to buy! I ended up with 3 buttons and 2 shirts. If I didn't have to pay rent, I would probably have gotten a few more things. :)

We'll be expecting pictures!

:hi:
