Friends,

I am thrilled to let you know that this afternoon the John Edwards campaign announced plans for a visit to Columbus, Kentucky on Thursday, October 04, at Columbus Belmont State Park. The Senator will come and hold a town hall style meeting with the citizens of Hickman county and the larger Western Kentucky area.

A few months ago, we made national headlines when we worked together to send a strong message to politicians everywhere that the needs of rural America are real, pressing and must be addressed. This is our historic opportunity to have our voices heard in a way like never before: before a national audience.

The festivities will begin at 11:30 AM with a free BBQ sponsored by Eventful.com which is the website that hosted the competition. The Senator is scheduled to start speaking and taking questions at 12:30 PM.

I hope that you join in Columbus next week to help the rest of the country understand why we love rural America and to take part in this unique event! I would ask that if for some reason you can’t make it, please send this e-mail to 10 of your friends. The national media will be present and we want to make a very strong impression in terms of our turnout!!

Thanks again for all that you’ve done so far. You made this happen-now it’s time to enjoy the benefits.

All my best,

Shawn
