Yo ...... Mama
I'm hoping to get a few locals to meet somewhere with flags and banners showing our support as the caravan goes through our area. Would you be interested?
Of course, the timing will make a difference.
Just throwing out ideas .... how about meeting at the rest area south of Kingsburg and welcoming the caravan with water, sodas and snacks? Maybe we could get some media attention.
Sounds great! Depending upon when it is, we will be there if at all possible. Keep me informed as the plans evolve.
I'd be interested. Is there a southbound rest area there? Is that somewhere around Riverland?

6:00-8:00am Melanie Morgan KSFO
8:00am Press Conference in San Francisco
8:00-10:00am En Route to Sacramento / Press Event in Vacaville
10:00-11:00am Sacramento Media Appearance
12:00-1:00pm Press Conference/Sendoff
9:00-12:30am En Route to Fresno (up dated to 1:30/2:00pm En Route to Fresno)
That is the schedule for Monday.
I am going to hook up with the first leg of the caravan, and document it through Vacaville to Sacramento and then shoot ahead of it to Fresno. I think it is about a 2+ hour drive from Sacto to Fresno.
I don't see anything planned for when the caravan gets to Fresno late afternoon, but maybe they will have something planned by then.
I am waiting for a reply from Robert Dixon at Move America Forward for help organizing something.
Hay, Cool Guy! My first caravan was one you organized back in '00, want to come along??? LOL
I would be interested.
