Where can I find a listing of where McCain is campaigning?

I want to go to one of his town halls so very badly. And ask him: "Senator McCain, your campaign slogan is Country First. Sir, you fought against and then let President Bush give you credit for Jim Webb's GI Bill, the same type of bill that put you through college. Is that your idea of putting Country First?"

I WANT TO SAY IT TO HIS FACE, GODDAMNIT.

ETA: I just watched Obama give an awesome answer to a question from a coal miner about what he thought about using it. He said he was keen on harnessing all sorts of every, but there was also the weakness of many sources (coal has pollution, hydro and geothermal can only be done in certain places, solar and wind aren't 24/7, nuclear needs storage for old mateial, etc).

It was a really awesome answer. :D

There are 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling and it's about to start raining shards into the hearts of the American people. \o/ EPIC LULZ.

I approve your message, sweetheart. But they'll never let you in. You'll probably have to sign a loyalty oath first!

I imagine you can get such a schedule from his series of tubes on the Internets dump truck. But if you do manage to get in, ask him to repeat whether or not he supports the draft! Get it on the record!

PS: Joe Biden is doing a town hall in Middletown, PA, not half an hour from where I live. But I have to save my time off days and could not go! WOE.

Unfortunately, I think [livejournal.com profile] eh_notsomuch is right. Just like that little old librarian with the "McCain = Bush" sign, they might not let you in. Well, you could obviously fake being a Republican until you're handed a microphone to ask a question.

I hope that McCain AND Palin come to Fairbanks so I can ask them first, if they believe in equal rights under the law, and then isn't it hypocritical that they don't believe in gay rights.

(In all fairness, I want to ask Obama that question too.)

That was my plan, actually.

McCain doesn't believe in equal rights. He voted against the ERA. Fuck, I wanna ask, "Governor Palin, what about my being gay offends you so much that you believe I deserve less rights as a citizen?"

Oh how I would LOVE to see that. I would just love to see BOTH of them confronted by the reality and the consequences of their bigotry. So if you actually get the opportunity to ask McCain a question, please have someone with you with a video camera, or a cell phone that takes video, or something.
