MARQUETTE -- The Campaign to Rebuild America held a rally Wednesday at the Marquette Commons. The group is in the middle of a five-week tour of America with stops in important swing states. Wednesday, they spoke about why they feel President Obama has let America down and why Mitt Romney's experience in the business world is what the nation needs.

The group is not affiliated with the Romney campaign or any candidate.

"Basically what my interest is, is that if America is free and prosperous and militarily strong, that makes my country safer, and if America goes down the tubes, my country will follow," said Political Analyst Trevor Laudon.

The group had live music and speeches aimed at swaying voters with just over a month left until the election. The tour continues Thursday with stops in Sault Sainte Marie and Cheboygan, Michigan.
