Louisville, KY – In what supporters of the President have dubbed his “legacy year,” Americans United for Change, the progressive issue-advocacy group best known for leading the successful fight to beat back President Bush’s effort to privatize Social Security in 2005, has hit the road with its latest effort, the Bush Legacy Bus. The bus is a 45-foot long, 28 ton, bio-diesel-powered museum on wheels featuring several interactive exhibits on how two terms of failed conservative policies supported by Bush and his allies, including Sen. John McCain and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have weakened America’s security abroad while neglecting and undermining important priorities here at home.

The latest stop on the national Bush Legacy Tour will be near Senator McConnell’s Louisville office on Thursday, June 26th at 11:00 AM ET on the corner of Chestnut Street between 6th & 7th, where local KY labor leaders including Kentucky State AFL-CIO President Bill Londrigan will hold the “Obstructionist-in-Chief” accountable for voting in support of this President’s failed policies 94 percent of the time, according to Congressional Quarterly. The bus will then be opened to the public until 1PM, ET where Kentuckians will be given the chance to reflect on the Administration’s tragically inept response to Hurricane Katrina, the mismanaged and endless war in Iraq , ‘trickle-down’ economic policies that favored the wealthiest Americans and more.

The Bush Legacy tour kicked off in Washington D.C. on June 24th and will travel coast-to-coast throughout the summer, making nearly 150 stops in the hometowns of Bush’s allies in Congress, both national political conventions and symbolic and historic locations like New Orleans and Crawford , TX .
