800-Mile Walk To DC

Kurt Kallenbach is walking 800 miles to join with others in Washington, DC, to show his concern for the direction of the country. Kallenbach, 48, and his wife, Debbie, both of Rockford, Ill., began their 800-mile trip to Washington, DC, May 30. They stayed at Hoffman Lakes Campground Sunday and Monday night and continued their journey to Fort Wayne today. Kurt and Debbie have been staying at campsites along the way. I met with Kurt and Debbie last night at our local Campaign for Liberty weekly meet up group and after dinner, kurt gave us a rant that I captured for those who wanted to meet with and hear what he has to say. Kallenbach said they plan to make it to Washington, DC, by July 4 to participate with thousands of other people in a tea party. The tea party is a nationwide protest forum for any group or individual dissatisfied with the current governance of the United States. Kallenbach walked along U.S. 30 Monday afternoon with a small flag, a backpack and a baseball cap with a flag on it. He averages about 22 to 25 miles per day, and said he has not yet had to battle inclimate weather.
