U.S. Senate Debate this Sunday in Rochester
"Letter to Editor"09/30/2008
Hello all,
The big U.S. Senate debate in Rochester with Al Franken, Norm Coleman and Dean Barkley will be the closest debate to most of the people here in Southern Minnesota. So, we have gone through and set up a couple of carpooling locations throughout the Western part of the District. More can easily be created according to RSVP's that we receive.
We need everyone to come and show Al their support!
The doors open at 6:00 pm, but the tickets are first come first serve and we do expect tickets to run out at some point. We are strongly encouraging people to arrive by 4:00 pm to wait in line. We will have 'special guests' there and lots of snack to keep everyone's spirits high as we wait together. We are expecting to be able to get close to 500 people into the debate. Tickets will only be distributed at the gates.
We need as many Al supporters there are as possible and don't want anyone to miss this very important opportunity to see him in action on the same stage as Norm Coleman. This is one place that Norm can't hide from his record and will have to talk about the issues facing real Minnesotan families.
The debate will be held at the RCTC Sports Center. The address is 851 30th Avenue SE, Rochester, MN.
To RSVP please call Chelsie at 507.382.9879 or send her an email at
