From The Jefferson Area Tea Party
Ralph Casey in a "pioneer" on a mission to bring five questions to Washington D.C. and get answers for small business owners.
A 69-year old veteran, he left his home in Georgia on April 30th driving a horse-drawn covered wagon. Mr. Casey travels between 3 to 4 miles per hour at a rate of about 15 miles per day. When he arrives in Washington, he hopes to speak with lawmakers and the President about "government gone astray".
Here is a good article about Mr. Casey's mission:

Mr. Casey is expected to arrive at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church (960 Monacan Trail Road, 2 miles south of Charlottesville) around 3:00 p.m. Saturday where he will hold up for the night and care for his horses. He will continue his journey Sunday at 8:30 a.m. up Route 29 North.
The JATP was contacted this afternoon by Andrew Horne, the Executive Director of the Warrior Haven Demonstration Alliance:

Everyone is encouraged to stop by Good Shepherd Episcopal Church tomorrow morning to show your support. You can also look for Mr. Casey somewhere along his route tomorrow.
