Subject: 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. 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 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!!

Too many far fetched "outrage" lines to be true--the lobster shipment to avoid eating Montana beef is particularly hilarious.
It has the feel of an internet fairy tale.
Look for it on Snopes in a few days.

Explain to me how Snopes is liberal. I always found them to be quite balanced.

Just like Obama at Grand Junction CO. That entire crowed was all white.....non of them seems to have any kind of a tan at all. Now unless you ever been to Grand Junction during the summer you would know that Colorado natives are well tanned bye mid summer. Those people were not from that area......or unless they all are California transplants and stay indoors.

My father lives in Bozeman, MT. He is 73. He did not attend Obama's Townhall last week but he did attend yesterday's (Aug 20) Townhall with Congressman Rehberg. He sent me the following email describing his experience:
“I was at a 2hr 15 min. town hall meeting today at MSU with republican rep. Rehberg. There were two lines of people to speak the entire time, and he got to everyone. There were many good inputs, and only one Obama lover girl who seemed like a plant, and she was booed down by the audience. One fellow had read the first 200 pages of HR3200 plus some random other pages. He counted over 300 times when it referenced Health & Human Services would solve this section. Another (appeared to be a student) read the section of the constitution that prevents the federal government from taking this action, including Medicare. A female doctor provided excellent input. She has stopped taking Medicare patients because she looses money on them. Her malpractice insurance costs $120,000 per year. She also gave examples of procedures she orders to avoid lawsuits. Also she has patients come to her from Canada, due to the long wait in Canada. Most people just do not trust the government and want them to stop spending.”
A few hours later, the media (kbzk) reported the results of the townhall. And do you think it was fair and balanced? Of course not. They only covered the Obama lover girl. They did not cover any of the productive content expressed by “We the People.”. My father then sent the following email to kbzk (I can tell he was mad because of all the misspellings):
“Shame on you! I attended the Rehberg Town Hall meeting today, and your news report has NO resemblance to what took place. Take a look at your picture on your website. The majority of the people were silver haired, very very concerned Montanans. They had very useful inputs regarding the out of control government spending and the question of the constitutional authority. The meeting lasted 2 hrs and 15 min., and there was two lines of people waiting to be heard up until the end. Mr. Rehberg gave everyone a chance to speak. However you chose to give air time to an (in KBZK’s words) an UNemployed girl who called Mr Rehberg a liar. Shame On KBZK. I’m not sure if you meant she was Unemployed, or and employee of University of Montana. There was a doctor that spoke that got No coverage. Basically healthcare can be improved incrementally, and not with a new out of control government program.”
My assessment is simple. “We the People” do not have jobs that permit us to lie, cheat or sabotage our competitors or coworkers. “We the People” are responsible, focus on the goal and get the job done. But the Government and the media depend on lying, cheating and sabotage. Our founding fathers did everything they could to prevent it. But 233 years have worn us down. Apathy has taken the place of patriotism. So until “We the People” end our tolerance lying, cheating and sabotage, it will never stop. Remember, 545 people make life altering decisions for 325,000,000 people.
