With 10,000 people expected, it's going to be a zoo, there. Even though I have a CCW and carry concealed, I think I'll leave the full-frame 5" Kimber .45cal ACP 1911A1 Eclipse Target II, in the Jeep. I'm sure there'll be scanners and no sense in inviting any not-needed problems with the Secret Service etc.
Should be a nice couple of 2-3 hours.
Even if you have a CCW you aren't getting in there with a firearm. At the least they will make you turn around. At the worst they may question you for a while. Smart choice on your part to leave it at home.
Bush is coming to Kutztown, PA Fri. morning, and not a ticket is available. The local Republican Committee told me they received only 25 tickets. I'm very annoyed by not being able to get a ticket.
Hey, does anyone know how we can make this "Political Pop Quiz" ad that FreeRepublic is using as a fundraiser a "nationwide thing"? That is EXCELLENT!! EXCELLENT I SAY, EXCELLENT.
I thought that the average Joe American was not paying too much attention to the Pres. election campaign at this time but just yesterday someone said they liked the Democrats better than the pubbies BUT they didn't think John Kerry could make a decision if his life depended on it and in the post 9/11 world, we need someone who is strong and decisive. This ad is a must for TV.
"I'm jealous, he's coming here to NC on Thur but is only doing a $10,000 per plate fundraising lunch in a private home. The media about this is pretty quiet too. I was SO hoping to be able to take my kids to see the president."
FIND OUT THE MOTORCADE ROUTE AND ALL YOU FREEPERS LINE THE WAY WITH FLAGS AND CHEERS.
I'm sure you can get children's plates for only $5 or $6,000, thereby cutting down on expenses. :-)

My kids are VERY cute but cranky when hot LOL. It's only 105 degrees with the heat index today and I think the forcast for tomorrow is about the same. I'm also asthmatic and don't do well out of the house in this type of weather.
It is a good idea though and I will definately give it some thought. I would be thrilled to just wave to him. I got to see his dad while visiting DC back in the 80's and it was just lucky coincidence he was leaving the WH while we were crossing the street in front. He waved at my daughter and I and she was SO excited about it. She's 21 years old now, wow time goes by so quick.

Probably, if you bring your own condiments. Just stay away from Heinz ketchup!!!
Anyone know what President Bush's next stop is after York? Would love to see him in York, but not sure I will be able to get tickets or get there. Is he heading out toward western PA/OH/upstate NY (near me) any time soon? My google search didn't yield much. Thanks!
Lancaster is after York on Friday; then up to Cumberland Cty. Just caught the end of it on wsba910am's news.
Go Keystone FReepers, give GWB a great boost. VP Dick Cheney was great in Parma, Ohio last week.

I watched Bush's York speech on C-Span and it was great!!!!
I am lucky I found because I did not know it was going to be broadcast.
We have got to get better coverage out for these events...
I was there at 4pm with 13,000 other GOPers and Conservatives, and W gave a stem-winder of a speech, at around 5:10pm.
I didn't even get close to him, but he dove into the appreciative crowd, shaking hands and hugging many folks.
God Bless America, and God Bless President George W Bush. Thanks for coming to York, PA, Mr President! I'll be there for you on Nov 2nd; count on it.
Here's the YDR wrap-up link to W's visit and speech. Their 9,000 figure is way low; the place was packed to the rafters: 13,000+.
