The following came from my Aunt Linda...........
Hello All,
>>
>> By now you have probably
>> heard that President Obama came to Montana last Friday. However, there
>> are many things that the major news has not covered. I feel that since
>> Bill and I live here and we were at the airport on Friday I should
>> share some facts with you. Whatever you decide to do with the
>> information is up to you. If you chose to share this email with others
>> I do ask that you DELETE my email address before you forward this
>> on.
>>
>> On Wednesday, August 5th it was announced locally that the
>> President would be coming here. There are many groups here that are
>> against his healthcare and huge spending so those groups began talking
>> and deciding on what they were going to do. The White House would not
>> release ANY details other than the date.
>>
>> On about Tuesday Bill
>> found out that they would be holding the "Town Hall" at the airport.
>> (This is only because Bill knows EVERYONE at the airport) Our airport
>> is actually located outside of Belgrade (tiny town) in a very remote
>> location. Nothing is around there. They chose to use a hangar that is
>> the most remotely located hangar. You could not pick a more remote
>> location, and you can not get to it easily. It is totally secluded
>> from the public.
>>
>> FYI: We have many areas in Belgrade and Bozeman which could have held a
>> large
>> amount of folks with sufficient parking. (gymnasiums/auditoriums). All
>> of which have chairs and tables, and would not have to be SHIPPED IN!!
>> $$$$$
>>
>> During the week, cargo by the TONS was being shipped in
>> constantly. Airport employees could not believe how it just kept
>> coming. Though it was our President coming several expressed how
>> excessive it was, especially during a recession. $$$$$
>>
>> Late
>> Tuesday/early Wednesday the 12th, they said that tickets would be
>> handed out on Thursday 9am at two locations and the president would be
>> arriving around 12:30 Friday.
>>
>> Thursday morning about 600
>> tickets were passed out. However, 1500 were printed at a Local
>> printing shop per White House request. Hmmmm......900 tickets just
>> DISAPPEARED.
>>
>> This same morning someone called into the radio
>> from the local UPS branch and said that THOUSANDS of Dollars of
>> Lobster were shipped in for Obama. Montana has some of the best beef in
>> the nation!!! And it would have been really wonderful to help out the
>> local economy. Anyone heard of the Recession?? Just think...with all
>> of the traveling the White House is doing. $$$$$ One can only imagine
>> what else we are paying for.
>>
>> On Friday Bill and I got out to
>> the airport about 10:45am. The groups that wanted to protest Obama's
>> spending and healthcare had gotten a permit to protest and that area
>> was roped off. But that was not to be. A large bus carrying SEIU
>> (Service Employees International Union) members drove up onto the area
>> (illegal)and unloaded right there. It was quite a commotion and there
>> were specifically 2 SEIU men trying to make trouble and start a fight.
>> Police did get involved and arrested the one man but they said they
>> did not have the manpower to remove the SEIU crowd.
>>
>> The SEIU
>> crowd was very organized and young. About 99% were under the age of 30
>> and they were not locals! They had bullhorns and PROFESSIONALLY made
>> signs. Some even wore preprinted T-shirts. Oh, and Planned Parenthood
>> folks were with them.....professing abortion rights with their
>> T-shirts and preprinted signs. (BTW, all these folks did have a permit
>> to protest in ANOTHER area)
>>
>> Those against healthcare/spending
>> moved away from the SEIU crowd to avoid confrontation. They were
>> orderly and respectful. Even though SEIU kept coming over and walking
>> through, continuing to be very intimidating and aggressive at the
>> direction of the one SEIU man.
>>
>> So we had Montana folks
>> from ALL OVER the state with their homemade signs and their DOGS with
>> homemade signs. We had cowboys, nurses, doctors you name it. There was
>> even a guy from Texas who had been driving through.
>> He found out about the occasion, went to the store, made a sign, and
>> came to protest.
>>
>> If you are wondering about the
>> press......Well, all of the major networks were over by that remote
>> hangar I mentioned. They were conveniently parked on the other side of
>> the buildings FAR away. None of these crowds were even visible to
>> them. I have my doubts that they knew anything about the crowds.
>>
>>
>> We did have some local news media around us from this state
>> and Idaho. Speaking of the local
>> media...they were invited. However, all questions were to be turned
>> into the White House in advance of the event. Wouldn't want anyone to
>> have to think off the top of their head.
>>
>> It was very obvious
>> that it was meant to be totally controlled by the White House.
>> Everything was orchestrated down to the last detail to make it appear
>> that Montana is just crazy for Obama and
>> government healthcare.. Even those people that talked about their
>> insurance woes........the White House called our local HRDC (Human
>> Resource and Development Committee) and asked for names. Then the
>> White House asked those folks to come. Smoke and mirrors...EVERYTHING
>> was staged!!!!!!!!!!!
>>
>> I am very dismayed about what I learned
>> about our current White House. The amount of control and manipulation
>> was unbelievable. I felt I was not living in the United States of
>> America, more like the
>> USSR!! I was physically
>> nauseous. Bill and I have been around when Presidents or Heads of
>> State visit. It has NEVER been like this. I am truly very frightened
>> for our country. America needs your prayers
>> and your voices.. If you care about our country please get involved.
>> Know the issues. And let Congress hear your voices again and again!!
>> If they are willing to put forth so much effort to BULLY a small town
>> one can only imagine what is going on in Washington DC.
