A Snowy Day in Muscatine

We had a snowy day yesterday in Muscatine (population 23,000), with snow accumulating at an inch an hour! Unfortunately, icy roads kept most of our friends in the right-to-life community in Muscatine home, but we certainly had their support and prayers.

The snow certainly kept Hillary Clinton behind schedule too, as she arrived to the event over an hour late. However, this gave us an excellent opportunity, as we had time to figure out where her motorcade would be coming in, and where we could make sure she would get our message. We were able to stand on the side of the road right next to her motorcade to send her a clear message: Planned Parenthood hurts women and must be investigated.

We'll be moving shop today from Eastern Iowa to Des Moines, the biggest city and Iowa's state capitol. We'll be doing some evening events in some areas surrounding Des Moines. With the caucus the day after tomorrow, some campaigns are doing events as late as 9 or 10 pm. Get-Out-The-Vote efforts are certainly in full swing!

Excellent work. Just like Ohio. Unfortunately, we may have to do this again in Ohio next semester!
