Adam Kokesh On Tour

Ok, so it's not really a tour, but I do get around a lot. I have always intended to be politically active, but since joining Iraq Veterans Against the War, a whole new world of opportunities has opened up for me. So here it is, where I'll be and when, and what you can do to get involved. I will be updating this at least every month and keeping it full for two months out. All times are local.
