Palin in Cedar Rapids

This Thursday Senator John McCain came back to Iowa for the first time with a new running mate, Governor Sarah Palin. The event was held at an air hanger in the Cedar Rapids airport. There were thousands of people there including many college students in ONE t-shirts! After the event Senator McCain and Governor Palin toured the Cedar Rapids to see the devastation from the recent flooding. After they toured the city the motorcade pulled up to the line of people who were still waiting to see them board the airplane, including ONE members! As they walked through the line and shook hands Senator McCain saw our ONE shirts and said its a wonderful organization and thanked us for what we do (see the video), as he started to walk away we ended the video right as he turned back around to tell us that his wife, Cindy, went on a trip to Rwanda with the ONE campaign recently. We said we knew and we asked him to thank her as well for her support, unfortunately we didnt get it on video. Next came Governor Sarah Palin who shook hands with a ONE member who handed her a ONE band, which she said right on! and immediately put on! (See video). We were so happy to have ONE represented at her first visit to Iowa!
