It should be a good week for people who like politicians, as we will have at least 5 of the Democratic Presidential candidates visting our city this week.
On Tuesday, June 26th, the candidates, Senators Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, former Senator John Edwards, and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, will be attending the convention of the Iowa Professional Firefighter's. Beau Biden, the son of Senator Joe Biden will also be there representing his father.
Now I do not support any of these candidates, but I think it would be fun to see them up close and personal. I have to work, so I hope their comments are reported in the Iowa Press-Citizen. Perhaps some of you readers will be able to attend. If you do please write me and let me know what you thought of them.
It is also being reported that former President Bill Clinton will be here with Hillary for the upcoming Jazz festival which begins July 2nd. now actually I would find President Clinton's visit to be better than the rest of these "pretenders" to the throne, as he was a good President. We had relative peace and prosperity. If his Presidency had not been marred by the "Monica" incident we would be remembered as one of our Better Presidents. Unfortunately, the loons on the Right tried every trick they could come up with to destroy President Clinton, up to and including wasting millions on his impeachment. I think that there is some payback heading the way of the Republicans as their President may face the Democrats, who have hinted rather loudly about possible impeachment charges against President Bush.
Anyway back to the Professional Firefighter's convention. If you can attend, the speaking schedele will be Senator Chris Dodd at 8 a.m., Senator Hillary Clinton at 9:30 a.m.,Governor Bill Richardson at 11:30 a.m., Senator Barack Obama at 2:30 p.m., Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden at 8 p.m., and then Wednesday it will be IAFF President Harold Schaitburger at 8:15 a.m., and then Senator John Edwards at 9:15 a.m.
The event will be at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Iowa City.
Have Fun!!
