Come Monday night, we'll be only hours away from millions of people in 22 states -- including Missouri -- heading out to make their voices heard.

So what I want to do Monday night is the kind of campaigning I love the most -- talking with people, listening to their questions, and sharing our hopes and dreams for America's future.
I am proud to announce that Kansas City has been selected as one of 22 cities that will host a Voices Across America National Town Hall.
