Washington D.C – With Republicans reeling due to their association with President Bush, and amid what supporters of the President have dubbed his “legacy year,” Americans United for Change announced the upcoming national tour national tour of the “Bush Legacy Bus.” This latest chapter in AUFC’s ongoing Bush Legacy Project, which will cement into history how two terms of failed conservative policies – supported by Bush and his allies including Sen. John McCain – have weakened America’s security abroad while neglecting and undermining important priorities here at home. Click here to view AUFC’s new Bush Legacy Tour homepage

This 45-foot long museum on wheels, powered by biodiesel, and weighing in at 28 tons, features interactive exhibits on the worst policy failures that grew out of the conservative agenda. Visitors will be given the chance to reflect on the Administration’s tragically inept response to Hurricane Katrina, mismanaged and endless war in Iraq, ‘trickle-down’ economic policies that favored the wealthiest Americans and more. The tour kicks off in Washington D.C. in late June and travels from coast-to-coast throughout the summer and fall stopping in the hometowns of Bush’s allies in Congress, both national political conventions and symbolic and historic locations like New Orleans and Crawford, TX.

“The Bush Legacy Project is not just about Bush – it is about the conservative ideology he and his allies in Congress, including John McCain, represent,” said Brad Woodhouse, President of Americans United for Change and founder of the Bush Legacy Project. “It’s time to stick a stake in the heart of conservative ideology, which is a failed governing philosophy. The Bush Legacy Bus is just one piece in an ongoing effort to redefine American political values and to create an enduring progressive majority in America. The bus will serve to educate Americans about how the conservative polices President Bush and his allies in Congress have pursued have failed America and why progressive approaches to healthcare, the economy, foreign policy and other issues provide the solutions Americans are looking for.”

The goals of the “Bush Legacy Project” are threefold:

· Remind American voters why they have lost faith in President Bush and his conservative agenda.

· Tie Bush and his agenda directly to the conservative brand and its followers.

· Shift the center of the political debate toward progressive solutions to our nation’s most intractable problems by demonstrating the failure of Bush’s policies and conservative ideology.

A number of groups have sponsored or partnered with AUFC on the Bush Legacy Bus, including Center for American Progress Action Fund, AFSCME, SEIU, AFL-CIO, VoteVets.org, MoveOn.org Political Action and American Rights at Work, among others to be named later.
