President Barack Obama (D) is slated to swing through Macon, Missouri during a series of stops for his "White House to Main Street" tour next week.
Obama is rumored to be planning a visit to an ethanol plant run by POET on Wed., Apr. 28.
Poet's facility in Macon was the first operational ethanol plant in Missouri that now has a capacity of 46 millions per year. According to Poet, the plant currently employs 45 people.
The Missouri Republican Party is planning a rally in opposition to the visit the night before. Although the website Stand Up 4 Freedom indicates the state GOP is sponsoring, a Facebook event invitation encourages Tea Party activists to attend as well. Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer (R) is among those listed as attending the opposition rally.
