It's official. John McCain will be visiting Defiance on Thursday morning. It was announced yesterday that he will be speaking at the Defiance junior high school at 9:00 a.m. and that tickets would be avaiable today at 10:00 at the Repulican headquarters in downtown Defiance. All someone needs to get a ticket is name, phone number and address and the tickets are free.
It's almost 10:00 now and I heard that the line for tickets is 5 blocks long. I happened to drive past there this morning about 8:45 and the line had already started.
It's really a great opportunity for people in Defiance and the surrounding communities to get in on a little bit of U.S. History. It's not everyday that we get the opportunity to see in person one of the presidental candidates.
I know that not everyone agrees with Senator McCain's policies or philosophies, but any presidential candidate coming to a community is a good thing. It creates national exposure to the community, as well as, it gives those of us in small town America a chance to feel like we count and matter.
I hope that if you are registered to vote that you will exercise that honor. Many lives have been lost to secure that right and I hope you honor them.
If you're in the Defiance area this morning maybe you can get a ticket or two. If you're trying I hope you the best of luck.
