UPDATE: CenLamar has more ... including a question for McCain, whom they call McSame, on why he has yet to sign onto a proposal for rebuilding the 9th Ward.

Well, it turns out that presumptive Republican nominee John McCain will be coming to Louisiana this week. He starts off with a rally in Kenner, LA on Tuesday night. Then he follows that up with a Town Hall meeting Wednesday morning here in Baton Rouge. After that Town Hall event, he's holding a fundraiser in Baton Rouge, where you can shell out $1000 to $2300 to sit down in the same room as him for lunch. The more you pay, the closer you get. If you click on the links, they will take you to a page where you can RSVP to attend the event(s).

I am hopeful that many of you readers in Baton Rouge will use the fact that he's holding a Town Hall meeting here in town to ask him some pointed questions about his views. Here are some news articles to get y'all started:

John McCain Opposes Minimum Wage Increase

Got any questions for McCain? Put them in the comments! If you go, I hope to hear about your experiences there in a diary!

Especially since he's been a recipient of it his entire life?

That's a great question ... n/t (0.00 / 0)
