Tour Journal

Kansas City, MO

Last night we had a small town hall style meeting on the campus of the University of Missouri, Kansas City. The turnout was low, but the activity was high, as students and locals alike added their names to the rolls to be counted among those of us who hope to stand athwart Obama and yell STOP!!

The American Liberty Tour speakers discussed activism and action, as well as the courage to stand defiant and fearless in the face of the media’s continuing smear campaign.

We met a young college student who quietly told us before the meeting that she is a conservative. She was excited to meet like-minded folks, particularly because so many of the tour members, myself excluded of course, are her age. At first, she balked at attending the meeting. But she reconsidered and ended up attending and staying for the entire town hall. Even on college campuses, even among the students, the movement to reject what is happening to our country grows daily.

Though the meeting was our smallest so far, about 40 people, it was still an inspiring example of the cross-section of America that is out there yearning to be heard. Last night they were heard, and they were armed with information they can use to continue to be heard going forward. And really, that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?
