When you find out he'll be speaking near you, call your local congressman or senator's office. I called an office near us, which is a smaller district, which is why I think I got tickets more easily; there was an article in the paper about how the tickets from the Lincoln and Omaha offices had been mostly allocated privately, and not offered to the public.
I'm planning to write a "thank you" letter to Congressman Tom Osborne's office to thank them for the tickets, partly in hopes of getting preferential treatment next time. :-)
My daughter also took notes all day; she's going to write a story for her english class, and also send it and a letter to the President.
The local Republican Party also usually gets tickets to distribute.
Ahhh...how do you find out if he's going to be in the area? I looked all over the web and I couldn't find any itenerary.
So would the democratic congressmen as well as republicans be giving away tickets?
Great report, homemom. What a wonderful experience for you and especially for your children.
The security surrounding every move he makes must be unbelievable. I know I would be completely suffocated by it, but maybe these people get used to it.
How in God's name can people protest the President wanting to make changes to Social Security? It just shows you that they hate anything and everything he does. These sheep take their cues from the Democrats in the Senate, they're just following their so-called 'leaders.' Can you imagine having those boils on the butt of humanity as your example for behavior?
