The town of Dixon is in Webster County, but Shawn Dixon is all about Hickman County

If you haven’t yet seen the fantastic article in Wired magazine on John Edwards’ upcoming visit to Hickman County, Kentucky and the efforts of DitchMitchKY’s very own Shawn Dixon to make it possible, you should read it.
Shawn released this statement yesterday on the event:
Friends,
I am thrilled to let you know that this afternoon the John Edwards campaign announced plans for a visit to Columbus, Kentucky on Thursday, October 4, at Columbus Belmont State Park. The Senator will come and hold a town hall style meeting with the citizens of Hickman County and the larger Western Kentucky area.
A few months ago, we made national headlines when we worked together to send a strong message to politicians everywhere that the needs of rural America are real, pressing and must be addressed. This is our historic opportunity to have our voices heard in a way like never before: before a national audience.
The festivities will begin at 11:30 AM with a free BBQ sponsored by Eventful.com, which is the website that hosted the competition. The Senator is scheduled to start speaking and taking questions at 12:30 PM.
I hope that you will join me in Columbus next week to help the rest of the country understand why we love rural America and to take part in this unique event!
I would ask that if for some reason you can’t make it, please send this e-vite to 10 of your friends. The national media will be present and we want to make a very strong impression in terms of our turnout!

(They need to know how much BBQ to buy!)Thanks again for all that you’ve done so far. You made this happen – now it’s time to enjoy the benefits.
All my best,
ShawnPS: John Edwards allowed me to announce the visit on his website! Leave a comment for the Senator and welcome him to our community if you feel so inclined!

I will check my schedule to see if I can get from my rural home in Burning Springs, Kentucky to the Columbus, Kentucky rally.
I can’t wait to see the guy that’s going to finish third in the primary of the party that’s going to lose anyway. Yeah!!!!
P.S. Why aren’t the Western Kentucky Liberals (both of you) starting a protest rally over his comments that African-American males are going to all be in jail or dead soon if their culture doesn’t change?
Let’s all meet and protest John Edwards blatent racism.!!!
I’ll see you guys at the event… or will you be wearing sheets to support Mr. Edwards racist views?
Amazing write-up which has obtained me thinking about in regards to the probable of the thought. Really genuinely awesome.
