NATIONAL “STOP OBAMA” TOUR LAUNCHES FROM SACRAMENTO – WEDNESDAY

[SACRAMENTO, CA] – A national bus tour rallying Americans to reject the Obama/Biden ticket and instead support the McCain/Palin campaign will launch from Sacramento, California with a rally at the Capitol State Park veterans memorial obelisk located near the intersection of 12th + N streets.  The Sacramento rally takes place this Wednesday, October 15th at 10:00 AM.

The “Stop Obama Tour” is being launched by the Sacramento-based organization, “Our Country Deserves Better” committee, an independent federal political action committee led by former California State Assemblyman, Howard Kaloogian. Spokespersons leading the tour include Sacramento military mom (and national pro-troop movement leader), Deborah Johns; Sacramento-based radio talk show host and TV pundit, Mark Williams; and black conservative activist and patriotic singer, Lloyd Marcus.

The Sacramento Union newspaper reported on the effort this week, “Sacto serves as launching point for pro-McCain effort.” You can read the story here:

The national bus tour will conduct 35 pro-McCain/Palin and anti-Obama/Biden rallies in key swing states where the presidential election will be determined including: Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
