"isnt this a democracy?" sad & too familiar story about * campaign
heres the link to todays newspaper report on local social studies teacher who was denied entry to * campaign stop in mi, even though she had a ticket.

this was posted on late breaking news but had not seen it in gd forums.
i thought it should also be here to make sure people knew about it and so duers could forward this if they choose.
i sent it to keith olbermann since this seems right up his alley: countdown @msnbc.com though i realize there are so many stories to choose from to get "activated" about....

1. I saw this earlier and commented on it but thank
you for sending it in an e-mail to Keith Olberman..I think this kind of news needs to be spread far and wide so the whole country can see what kind show the bushites are running.

3. did you see it in the gd forums? if so, sorry for the dupe...
i hadnt seen this today but yes, i agree with you completely. these kind of stories (incl the suppression of african american votes, the invitation only staged rallies that * is waging, etc) are quite important

2. In Bush's America, eveyone has the right to vote . . .
