Long Beach residents are invited to join the thousands who have toured the C-SPAN Campaign 2012 Bus when it stops at Cal State Long Beach (CSULB) as part of its “Road to the White House” tour on Tuesday, March 20.
The bus will be open for visits from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at the campus’ east turnaround, across from the campus’ SSPA Building. The bus tour is named after C-SPAN’s signature political program.
