The finale of the tour will happen at noon the Ohio State House today (11/3), where President Rugola will be joined by Lt. Governor Lee Fisher and many supporters.

“The Bush administration has wrecked our economy and destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ohio’s working families, and John McCain is committed to policies that promise more devastation for our communities and our people,” said Rugola in a press release. “The challenge now is to reverse these trends and this election presents Ohioans with a chance to right the ship by electing a president who will put working families and the middle class first - Barack Obama."
