What Really Happened Last Week in Montana
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.
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 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!!
Time to wake up people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to band together and start waking people up! Get your gear ready.
