Kerry
Coverage~ (from a reader – not confirmed)
Good Tuesday morning! John Kerry brought his "front porch meeting" to our
Canonsburg, PA neighborhood on Labor Day morning. Since you will never hear the
truth from the TV or print media I thought that you should know from someone who
was `almost' there.
The residents who live on the street where the event took place were not allowed
to attend.
Kerry shipped in approximately 90 invitation only VIPs. In
addition, there was a hard luck case who was about to lose her job at USAIR and
another was an elderly woman who was having health care problems. Neither one
was from this neighborhood. The street was closed to all traffic the night
before and all residents on the street were REQUIRED to remove their Bush/Cheney
signs.
The sympathetic police officers on duty told us that Kerry used
imminent domain to claim the street for his purposes. Residents who have homes
within the perimeter (approximately 1 full block) were kept behind a line away
from the partisan crowd. The rest of us were not allowed within the 1 block
cordon. A neighbor from across the street came to the line where we were being
kept and asked us to come onto his property. The police told us that we could
stand on this mans FORMERLY private property! This was set up so that Kerry's
views could be heard - but not the neighbors. About 30 peoples (mostly
neighbors) shouts echoed down the street "Let the neighbors in".
We could barely hear Kerry speaking with his microphone because press buses were
used to block us off from view! This mornings papers are reporting hecklers
tried to interrupt Kerry as he spoke to the neighborhood gathering, but he
turned our chants to his favor by calling us rude. Even though most of the
media was there to record our stories of not being included in the neighborhood
forum, not one of them printed or aired the truth. This is what America will
look like if Kerry becomes president.
Get registered and get all of your friends registered to vote if
they have not already. Kerry thinks that he is better than the rest of us and
he has the media on his side to make him out to be what he is not! Finally,
last night as I drove down the street where the rally was, I was shocked to see
Bush/Cheney signs in almost every yard on the street! Please send this e-mail
on to as many people as you can.
