During the Campaign 2012 North Carolina Tour, the bus will visit universities and colleges to speak with students and public about C-SPAN’s extensive Campaign 2012 programming and resources, in addition to asking bus visitors to share their thoughts on campaign issues via Tout, a video-based social media service.

- C-SPAN’s Campaign 2012 “Road to the White House” website, including video of candidates and campaign events, information on key state races and the electoral college

During the visit to Elon University, C-SPAN and Tout representatives will encourage citizens and students to share their thoughts on the presidential campaign. Participants will be asked to comment on the presidential candidates and the issues most important to them in this election cycle. Their responses — captured in 15-second videos via Smartphone and shared instantly — will be uploaded onto various C-SPAN social media platforms, including C-SPAN’s own Tout page (http://www.tout.com/cspanbus).
