Thank You! To Everyone who came out to Sterling Heights to protest Bush!

How dare he come here after he (& Engler policies) ruined our economy.
The musicians were wonderful!
The Raging Grannies!
also the guys with the guitar, drum & original songs!
make a CD! I'll buy it!

of course the media ignores the protests, but we've lost so many jobs here in Michigan Bush can't win!

2. A USA Today Reporter was on c-span by phone this morning

spewing the party line about the "large and enthusiastic" crowds for the chimp in Michigan. He made a big point of talking about how there were only a "couple" of people who weren't down on bended knee worshiping the ground the chimp was riding past in his lavish, rock-star quality bus - hardly what Rove wants people to think when they hear "bus tour." As usual, the event and the reporting are nothing but a sham.

4. I heard that 10,000 Republicans were invited...

and only about 2,000 showed up.

Is that true?
