John Edwards Upcoming Event Buzzers

September 21, John Edwards speaks at GHW Bush airport, Houston, at 2:30. Reason: to address a rally of Continental Airlines ground workers trying to form a union. Voting began this week in an election at Continental in which 7,800 fleet service workers will decide if they want to be represented by the Transport Workers Union of America (TWU). More than 3,000 of these workers are based in Houston. Continental's ground workers have until Oct. 12 to vote by telephone."

Edwards Rally and Fundraisers for Jim Webb, Senatorial candidate, Virginia.

Another blogger whose blog I mentioned last night and I have been blogging his blog, just gave me a heads-up about the details of the JRE/Webb rally:

Tuesday, September 26, 2006
WHAT: Rally with Jim Webb and Senator John Edwards
WHERE: University of Mary Washington
1700 College Avenue
Fredericksburg, VA
WHEN: 3:00 PM
Please RSVP here.

This just in...additional information about the rally from the Virginia Progressive blog.

It will be in front of Lee Hall, at 3pm, as reported, and it is sponsored by Mary Washington Legislative Action Committee and Young Democrats. Way cool. Hat-tip to James Martin for that tidbit. Lee Hall, situated near Ball Circle, is the center of the campus and easily identified by the many national flags flying from the balcony. (photo courtesy of UMW website)

According to the Fredricksburg Free-Lance Star,
Elizabeth attended Univ of Mary Washington for awhile in the 70's.

WHAT: Fundraiser with Senator John Edwards
WHERE: Oakton, VA
WHEN: 5:30 PM

For more information please contact Will Rosenthal at wrosenthal@webbforsenate.com or 703.778.4080

  • I refuse to fly into either Bush or Reagan airports. Well, I refuse unless the fare is lower than for Dulles, BWI, or Hobby (whatever the other Houston airport is).

  • I'm with you on that, but last month, I had to fly into Reagan because I had to take care of a sick friend, and I had to take the Metro to Alexandria and grab a cab. It was the closest airport.

    I haven't been through BushAir in a very long time.
