First, in June, it was jury duty that purportedly delayed Sarah Palin's "One Nation" non-campaign bus tour. Now the first day of school and the Alaska State Fair provide cause for another indefinite hiatus.
A message posted to the website of SaraPAC, Palin's political action committee and bus-tour sponsor, announces a temporary end to the "Heartland" leg of the tour.
The note begins recapping in brief the tour's most recent stop, Kansas City, Mo., where the Palins visited the World War I Museum and Liberty Tower Memorial, continues by recognizing the sacrifices they were built upon, and ends saying the bus tour would be going on hold again. This hiatus SaraPAC says, is brought about by the first day of school in Alaska, (meaning homework for the kids and Sarah alike), and of course, the Alaska State Fair. Palin doesn't mention when the bus tour will resume, but affirms an earlier report that she'll be speaking at a Tea Party of America PAC event on Sept. 3 in Waukee, Iowa.
