One of the great things about being a targeted state is that many of our smaller communities get to interact with national figures more than they probably would otherwise. In 2004, one of the most memorable parts of the campaign was the whistle-stop tour John Kerry and John Edwards made through southeast Colorado, with a huge rally in La Junta.

This week, Colorado’s rural communities will hear from Democrats in every corner of the state via the “Rural Policy Tour”. The tour will feature key Colorado leaders, such as Governor Ritter and Senator Salazar, but will also feature a key out-of-state rural leader, Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota. Senator Klobuchar is a rising star in the Democratic Party nationally, and we are lucky to have her join us across the small towns of Colorado. Joining Sens. Klobuchar and Salazar and Gov. Ritter will be former Governor Roy Romer, Congressman John Salazar, and Colorado Agriculture Commissioner John Stulp. Here are the details:
