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 not stand on this man's FORMERLY private property! This was set
up so that Kerry's views could be heard - but not the neighbors. About 30
people's (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.
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.
LET FREEDOM RING!
