I have a friend, Dan, in montana.
This is what he reports and what A Tea Party Leader reports about Obama's Bozeman Montana's STAGED Town Hall. - WA

=========================================
Morning!
Thought you would like to read what one of our local (Flathead Valley in North Western MT) folks had to say about Obama's little event in Belgrade yesterday. Linda J is very active in the cause and is one of those that helps to put on our local tea parties. Sure sounds like the crowd inside was stacked. Belgrade is a small town but Bozeman is a University town that is full of liberal Professors, students too dumb to understand their future is being stolen from them, and a lot of non-native Montanan's that tend to vote Democratic. That's why Obama's handlers chose that location for the event!

Subject: Bozeman/Belgrade Obama Town Hall meeting


I'm trying to formulate my thoughts on just what happened in Bozeman yesterday, for Obama's visit. It was good and it was bad and I gather you deducted that just from your gleaning of hearing His Highness on the TV...It was soooo orchestrated and the Obama rally folks were bussed in on beautiful buses and were given SIGNs and were agressive folks overall. They shouted chants on bullhorns and got frenetic. We maintained our cool and didn't back down and not nasty...They stole the spot that Bozeman Tea Party had CLEARED with the police department and airport way ahead of time. It was the better spot because it allowed more visibility..They (they the Obama side) showed up TWO hours BEFORE Obama's visit. We all showed up, as planned, one hour before his visit. The police were all over the place but mostly near or at the Hangar. They could not at first control Obama's crowd and actually asked our group to concede the spot to them. It wasn't that the police were on their side, actually contrare, but they were overwhelmed and we conceded to keep the peace for all. Our group which was continually forming right next to them was growing and growing but we were disappointed that our group seemed less prepared and effective. We clearly were outnumbering them, but we had to wait for folks to arrive from all over with their own cars, their own $$ to get there and their own homemade signs.
At 11:40 a.m. VOILA the Calvary finally arrived and were they awesome! Bozeman Tea Party group mounted two giant speakers on top of a van decorated in banners of the American spirit. BTP team dispensed their great orators of their group and LOUDLY now, drowning out the smaller crowd with their pathetic ( now) bullhorns. What they had to say brought large cheers from the Anti Government Healthcare supporters...Then the sad reminder, endless lines of cars were now passing us going to the Hanger to be a part of the meeting that almost ALL conservatives were shunned from. As they passed and we were out there soaking wet from rain, holding our signs etc and our flags only to get cold stares and jeers from many of the cars passing by us to the hanger - we knew Obama's Townhall was totally stacked against us. We even had his townhall meeting beeped out to us on our big speakers - many folks were so angry at the orchestrated bull that they ran to their cars and plugged their ears - however, it had to be broadcasted. So many times we were soaked to the bone not willing to give up our space and time to the Obama crowd - I was proud to stand with these wet and cold patriots of ALL ages. We had wonderful guest speakers and at least 3 from our group of 14 that caravaned up from Kalispell got to speak and we were applauded for driving up and joining them! After the rally ended, the busses took the Obama group home and many had left their "given signs" in a pile on the grass along with their trash....we were chilled but it wasn't from the weather........When I saw the TV shows my husband taped and saved for me of the event - nothing "nationally" was portrayed of the drama and true spirit going on outside the hanger from real Montanans and real Americans- only the orchestrated dribble from the left and their supreme Leader.... (hopefully local radio and T.V. gave it some coverage as they were there!) Linda J
