McCaskill Will Tour Farms Amid Anti-War Protests

Sen. Claire McCaskill will tour a farm in Rogersville Wednesday just hours after an anti-war group stages a protest in front of her Springfield office.

According to McCaskill's schedule, the junior Senator will tour M&M Dairy in Rogersville, Mo. between 1:30-2:30 p.m.

Per the Springfield News-Leader, Code Pink of the Ozarks will demonstrate in front of McCaskill's office at 324 Park Central West from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

According to the article, it's part of a "Troops Home for the Holidays" protest. Members will display Christmas tree with ornaments featuring the names of all Missourians who died in Iraq since 2003.

A second demonstration is planned for Rep. Roy Blunt's office at 2740 East Sunshine between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m.
