From: "Randy H"
Reading some of the quotes is interseting, too:
"From a letter in yesterday's Des Moines Register:
I am a registered Democrat voting for John Kerry, but I thought it would be
educational for my daughters and me to go see President Bush speak at the
Davenport riverfront Aug. 4.
I wanted them to see that the president was supposed to be working for all
Americans. Even if I didn't agree with his policies, I could still show my
children how elections and politics work.
I waited in line, picked up my Bush tickets and waited in line to enter the
park to hear the president. When I got up to the front of the line, I was
grabbed by security, pushed to the side (in front of my children and
Republican friends) and my ticket was ripped. They said, "We don't
like your pin, so get out of here."
I was wearing a small pin that said, "John Kerry 2004." The worst
part is the security team did this in front of my children. I want my
daughters to understand that in America we have the right to free speech.
We have the First Amendment, but that was blatantly violated.
I wasn't making a scene. I didn't even say anything. My daughters don't
understand why this happened. They thought in America people could express
themselves without repression."
