The secret service were obviously only looking at us... They had the police officer remove the stick from the sign
and the officer politely asked Mike if he wanted his sign back. Except for a couple of yahoos nobody hassled us but there glares were relentless. One lady screamed at Mike, "YOU DON'T SCARE US!!" The secret service then ABRUPTLY told the yahoo to "STEP BACK M'AM!!" Another lady told us we should be ashamed of disrespecting the love in that family....I asked her "What about the love and respect for our country?" She walked away quickly in a huff.
There were a couple of very nice Moms with their small children who were very supportive of us, as well as a couple senior citizens who respected our right to Freedom of Expression.
While carrying our signs out by the highway, the school children and teachers walking by along with general traffic driving by were chanting on both sides of the coin...of course there were alot more sneers than cheers, but still a great day out!
HEY MIKE, GREAT IDEA BUDDY!!!
Attached is a link to the article in the local paper stating there were 100's of people there (really only approx. 75 including police, secret service, and Kerry's servants).The paper also stated there were many "Republicans for Kerry" there. Where were there signs outside?
