McCaskill to kick off campaign with RV tour

(From the Claire McCaskill campaign)


 This Saturday, Claire McCaskill will officially kick off her 2012 reelection campaign with the "In Our Town, On Our Side" statewide RV tour. During the weeklong tour, Claire will meet with Missourians, visit small businesses, thank volunteers and supporters for their hard work and open several of the Missouri Democratic Party's Coordinated Campaign Offices. Over the course of the week, Claire will visit 24 Missouri communities and all four corners of the state.

"This RV tour is just the beginning, because we're taking this campaign everywhere in our state. It doesn't matter if it's the reddest of red territory or the bluest of blue," said McCaskill. "In my book, we are one Missouri. I work for all Missourians, and as a daughter of rural Missouri I know how important it is to reach out to our small towns and communities to make sure they know what is at stake in this election."

"While the three extreme Republicans are campaigning against compromise and for the special interests, Missouri's middle class families can count on me to always be on their side -- fighting efforts to privatize Medicare and Social Security, protecting affordable student loans and doing everything possible to rebuild a strong and vibrant economy that works for Missouri, not just the big banks on Wall Street. Over the next four months, the people of Missouri will see me traveling across the state and making sure they know they have a Senator on their side who stands up to the special interests."

McCaskill's "In Our Town, On Our Side" RV tour will kick off Saturday morning in St. Joseph when Claire will attend the Missouri Democratic Party's coordinated campaign office opening. Events will be advised throughout the week as details become final.

As reported by the Associated Press, Claire's made fighting for the middle class and using compromise to achieve real solutions two of the centerpieces of her campaign, while her three extreme opponents "are mounting a no-compromise campaign."

The "In Our Town, On Our Side" RV tour allows Claire to bring her case directly to Missourians and remind them that the anonymous special interests who've already spent nearly $7.5 million in secret money attack ads aren't from Missouri and are supporting Claire's three extreme opponents because all three would be just another rubber-stamp for the Washington special interests, not Missouri's families.
