-snips-

Bush's three-room bus, outfitted with a kitchen, four television screens and captain's chairs, was trailed by a spare bus, a Secret Service bus, a staff bus and four press buses. Local residents lined the highways to wave, several hundred protesters greeted him outside the arena in Kalamazoo.

Both states have been hammered by heavy job losses during his presidency, but touted his tax cuts as an impetus for economic recovery.

"I understand that Michigan still suffers," Bush said in Kalamazoo. "But the plans we put in place should help those workers."

Bush said the country was recovering from the recession that greeted him when he entered office and from the fallout of the Sept. 11 attacks. He said in Niles, "The best way to generate economic growth is to let people keep more of their money."

my recent business trip to Kalamazoo revealed wide-spread dissatisfaction with bush*....hundreds of signs from this organization could be seen on people's lawns....check out their web page....

in addition, I was in Dearborn Michigan, home to many Arab-American people who are very angry at the shrub (notice shrub has avoided his usual fund-raising/cheerleading in Dearborn).....and that was BEFORE the horror show of bush*'s torture chambers was revealed....lastly, I visited with my friend who has just returned from Iraq (National Guard)....he said Iraq is a total clusterf**k....AND he voted for the shrub in 2000...this time, my friend is real mad at shrub and will not vote for him, he also said most of his colleagues at Selfridge base are NOT voting for shrub....go MICHIGAN !!! take back America...STAND UP against bush* and his minions....

4. in K-zoo....THOUSANDS have been fired from the big drug manufacturing

company...Pfizer...it's certain the shrub went there using taxpayers funds, to solicite donations from his BIG executives, using his 'no-tax for the rich people' crap to get more campaign money....afterall, bush* just gave away $$$$TRILLIONS to the pharmaceutical corporations, while KILLING our seniors...he expects his BIG payback...and of course, the payback for the taxpayers on the GIANT Medicare give-away was to put THOUSANDS more OUT OF WORK....

3. Yay! THAT'S what I'm talkin' bout! :)

As a displaced Kalamazooan this warms my heart greatly!

My mother was one of the people pissing herself with glee after getting VIP (no less) tickets to go watch GW mangle the english language. Wish I could have been there to represent the SANE people in the family by joining the protest outside.

Kalamazoo is awesome!

the people going to attend the love fest in the amphitheater
were mostly from out of the area (judging by cars/ people looking at maps etc)& they brought people in on buses too

10. of course, the "Free Speech Zone"

Relax, just leave it to BushCo to tell you when you may "express" yourself.

They have made a shambles of our First Ammendment rights, the rights the patriots of 1776 stood for. BushCo has a "better' idea: if you don't agree with us, sit down and shut up. And the Freepers lap this crap up (They Know Not What They Do)

8. I Talked To A Friend In G.R.

Talk about being in Thugville, this friend has seen a lot of things very promising in recent months.

Yes, lots of people are fed up with this regime, it's war and the crappy economy. Michiganders are realists and moderates, not the Idaho nutballs. These are the people my friend says are getting very restless out there and aren't afraid to say it. I think Michigan is going to be a very inspiring state for Democrats this year.

Now, let's get working in Ohio!
