What Really Happened Last Week IN Montana
by rosesandsmiles at 8/27/2009 10:37:17 AM
Got this from a friend today. Thought you might like to read
it. ---------------------------- What Really
Happened Last Week in Montana This was sent by a person in
Bozeman , MT who was there..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 cannot 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 . Scary!! ,
