Font Size:

The man known as "Joe the Plumber" made a stop in Wausau Thursday.

"Joe the Plumber", whose real name is Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, spoke at an event called "Pints and Politics" at the Plaza Hotel and Suites. The event was sponsored by the group Americans for Prosperity, which promotes small government.

The Ohio man addressed several issues, including a planned Tea Party July 4th in Wausau. The Tea Parties are used to protest the spending policies of the President and the government.

"Joe the Plumber" gained notoriety during the 2008 Presidential Campaign. He campaigned for Republican candidate Sen. John McCain, and spoke against now President Obama's tax proposals.
