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,"
<http://www.usnews.com/blogs/washington-whispers/2008/1/10/a-bush-boost-
gop-banks-on-it.html?s_cid=rss:washington-whispers:a-bush-boost-gop-bank
s-on-it>  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.
