John McCain and Sarah Palin stopped in Lancaster, PA for a rally last week and local ONE members from Pennsylvania were ready. Wearing ONE shirts, we got seats directly behind the stage and were able to be in full view of the TV cameras broadcasting live nationwide.
Following the rally, we also spoke briefly with Ms. Palin and handed her a ONE band – to which she responded very enthusiastically and placed on her wrist. All in all, it was a great day for ONE PA!

It’s a shame that you don’t have a picture of the banding to share with us. I would have loved to have seen the initial look on Gov. Palin’s face.
Good job keeping the focus on ONE in this presidential race.
