McLovin' McCaskill

So things are going pretty well right now.

We got in the paper for the second time this year. Check it out.

And last night I met Senator Claire McCaskill at a rally for Obama's campaign, although he was not there himself :(. Anyway, after McCaskill's spiel on why Obama rocks she came around for meet and greet. Guess who was there in her bright red ONE Mizzou shirt? Me! (no, it's Morgan Freeman). And I dragged three of my friends and put the shirts on them as well. It was great. I also brought a little something for the Senator.

Last week I called both Senator Bond and McCaskill's office to schedule an appointment to meet with their staff to talk about the Global Child Survival Act. I got a call back from Bond's office the next day and I am meeting with them on Wednesday. McCaskill's office failed to contact me so I decided to let the Senator know. I put together a packet with asks, information on the Bill, information on ONE, all of our news articles, and a personal hand written letter from me. Oh, and I brought her her very own ONE Mizzou shirt and ONE band so she would remember us. She was very nice and listened to everything I had to say even though about 100 other people were waiting to talk to her.

Listening to me talk about dying children and mothers and the bill that is going to work to end that.

IDK, my BFF Claire

During her speech she mentioned Obama is going to be in Kansas City on Tuesday. We're going. In our shirts. And you better believe we're not leaving until the Senator has one for himself. There's a problem though. Last night was the first we heard of his coming to KC, and we cannot find any information on where he is going to be. All we know is that he'll be in KC, and we'll be there. Where there is is only a mystery right now.

Oh, did I mention my picture with McCaskill made the Columbia Tribune?
