Trail ahead: Hillary, a congresswoman and more Chelsea

Both Democratic presidential campaigns will launch massive volunteer canvassing efforts this weekend, which will be run out of each of their regional offices. For more information on each campaign's in-state operations see U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's Kentucky Web site and U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's Kentucky Web page.

Meanwhile, Obama's campaign has said Obama will be here next week to stump and he's sending Texas U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson to Lexington Sunday for a volunteer kick-off event.

Clinton will be in Louisville Friday night for the state Democratic Party's fund-raiser. And her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, will be back in Kentucky Monday, said Jerry Lundergan, the former state Democratic Party Chairman and member of Clinton's national finance team who has served as Clinton's point-person in Kentucky.

Here's what's ahead:

CLINTON CAMPAIGN

MONDAY: Chelsea Clinton will campaign in Eastern and Central Kentucky, Lundergan said. Then she will join Betsy Ebeling, Hillary Clinton's lifelong friend, for an event called a "Hillary I  know"
party at the Carrick House, which is owned by the Lundergans, and is at 312 N. Limestone in Lexington. The event is slated to start at 6:30 p.m.

OBAMA CAMPAIGN

SUNDAY: Congresswoman Johnson, who represents the 30th District in Texas, will
kickoff neighborhood canvassing in Lexington at Obama's campaign office, 125 E. Reynolds Road, Suite 115 at 2:30 p.m. Before that, she is scheduled to visit the Wesley United Methodist Church and Historic Pleasant Green Missionary Baptist Church in Lexington.

Five million people in this country suffer from Alzheimer’s Disease. During the next administration, the number will skyrocket due to the aging baby boomer population.

We need to ask our candidates what they’re going to do about it before it bankrupts Medicare and Medicaid. Kentucky voters must ask that question now.
