Listening Tour Rolls On

By Bill O'Neill


Just thought I’d give you an update on the latest from the campaign trail.

Every Saturday, I travel to one or two cities in the district for my old fashioned listening tour, or as we’ve nicknamed it, the “Meet Bill” tour. I buy you a cup of coffee and we sit down in a small group to discuss the issues that are most important to you.

It’s been a big hit and a lot of fun for me personally. It’s not often I get to sit down in a one on one setting with so many of the great people of Northeast Ohio. This Saturday, I’m making stops in Ashtabula and Geneva. Make sure to check the calendar for all the details, and to find out when I’m coming to a town near you.

P.S. I want to offer my most heartfelt congratulations to Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee for President. This is both an exciting moment in our nation’s history, and an exciting time for our party. Both his and Hillary Clinton’s campaigns have made me more proud than ever to call myself a Democrat, and I look forward to being his running mate in Ohio come November.
