Bush Legacy Tour

DES MOINES, IOWA- Appearing on national television is nothing new for the Bush Legacy Bus. She had been featured on networks big and small all over the country and in a few cases abroad. She never shies away from a camera whether it belongs to a professional cameraman or a truck driver speeding up to catch a photo.  Yet, this morning’s camera appearance was certainly special and memorable.  CBS Sunday Morning came to Des Moines to take some footage of the Bush Legacy Tour for a piece they are doing on Bush’s Legacy. They are interviewing historians and other figures (and buses) about what Bush’s legacy will look like to future generations. The crew took some shots of the bus and we did a quick interview about the tour and also interviewed the Iowans who had come out to see the bus. They were hard-pressed to find any passerby’s that had good things to say about Bush’s legacy.  We held a brief event at our location in front of the downtown public library and then packed up to go to Drake University for the second half of our day. We then had the pleasure of meeting up with Howard Dean’s Register For Change Bus that was making an appearance there.  Dean came to the University and gave a speech about the importance of registering new voters during this election.

Chairman Dean then made a trip to our bus to take a short tour before heading to the next city. Check out the video of Dean’s tour.
