>>>> 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 no t 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.
>>> Scary!!
