Team - I wanted to share an email I received from Vivian, our first "Ride the Bus" winner. We were honored to have Vivian and her husband, Elliot, with us on the campaign trail in Florida. As I think you can tell by her email, a day spent with John McCain on the Straight Talk Express is unforgettable. Remember, today is the last day to make a donation to our campaign for a chance to ride the Straight Talk Express with John McCain. The lucky winner will join us on the upcoming bus tour in California. Please follow this link to make your contribution before our deadline at midnight tonight! Rick Davis Campaign Manager |

Subject: Thank you for an unforgettable time with the McCains!
Dear Rick,
Thank you and everyone involved for both putting together the contest and for the wonderful time that Elliot and I had on the bus! We are still very inspired and overwhelmed by the time we spent with Senator McCain, his family and staff. They were all very gracious and made us feel like we had known them for years. We have a new understanding and an increased appreciation for what political candidates go through on a day to day basis. The schedule is grueling. Senator and Mrs. McCain do it with grace and make it look easy . . . but it is not.
When we finished at the luncheon, we went back to our hotel and took a nap. I am a seasoned nurse and thought I had a lot of stamina, but I was drained. We have both told many people about our experience and what a personable, hard-working, and good-humored person Senator McCain is. We have been John McCain supporters for many years and will be doing our best to work at the grassroots level on his behalf until he is elected as our next president in November.
Again, thanks and best wishes to all for the awesome time.
Sincerely,
Vivian and Elliot
