First we made a stop at a radio station in Youngstown,

I am currently in Columbus OH, where I am participating in Patriot Majority's Bus trip to Stop the Greed Agenda against the Koch Brothers. I was hired to do this by the National Education Association, and will be posting at least once a day at their Education Votes website. I will crosspost PART of those posts here, as I am doing this morning, and provide a link back to their site, since they are paying for my blogging. I hope you will follow the link and also explore what else is on their website. My first post was written last night as an introduction to what I am doing.
