Listen Up, Bitter People

Category: Politics || By

If you're going to U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton's speech tonight in Renziehausen Park --- or, more likely, you're reading this after the fact --- I want to hear from you.

Yeah, I'd go myself, but I've been on the go since 6 a.m. Friday morning (minus a few hours' sleep Friday night), and I'm all in.

And yeah, maybe that's a poor excuse, but I don't get paid for doing this, you know.

Anyway, tell me what Sen. Clinton had to say, why you attended the rally, and whether you're voting for her. Email jtogyer@gmail.com.

Digital photos would be tres bien, too, as they say in high-class places like White Oak.

Also, city Councilman Paul Shelly reports that Clinton's opponent for the Democratic presidential nomination, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, is also coming to Our Fair City.

Details are on Obama's campaign website:

Join Barack Obama at a Town Hall in McKeesport on Monday, April 21st.
On Track for Change Town Hall with Barack Obama

Penn State Greater Allegheny
Wunderley Gymnasium
4000 University Drive
McKeesport, PA 15132

Monday, April 21st
Doors open: 4:00 p.m.
Program Begins: 6:00 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public. However, seating is limited and tickets are required. Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis.

For security reasons, do not bring bags. Please limit personal belongings. No signs or banners permitted.

Same deal here: I have a real job, and I can't go. But if you go, I'd be interested in hearing from you.






Your Comments are Welcome!

So, does Barack know he is visiting McKeesport, or is he visiting “Greater Allegheny”?

Adam, great question! I know I’ll be at Penn State MCKEESPORT where I am an alumni.

See www.paulshelly.com for more details or if you need tickets!

Help us bring HOPE back to the McKeesport!!!!!
