Student banned in Tucson at SS meeting & my email to McCain

[tyedyeto]

This is what I sent to him today. Only part I didn't copy before sending was my name.

I heard about what occured at today's 'town hall' meeting today in Tucson regarding not allowing anyone who has an opposite point of view to be allowed inside the 'event'. It seems as tho a UofA student was not allowed in because he was wearing a "UofA Young Dems" t-shirt.

Link to what occured while you were schmoozing it up with Bush:

Tell me this isn't censorship after reading.

Are these proceedings supposed to be about communication and learning about how to fix Social Security? If they are, why is no one allowed in if they have answers or opinions that the present administration doesn't like?

Myself, I believe that if we raise the cap on earnings, that will bring in much needed money to the program. Also, don't keep taking money out of the SS system to pay for the illegal war in Iraq. Just a couple of suggestions.....

I know that the possibility of you, Sen. McCain, actually reading this are slim to none and even slimmer that I will actually receive a reply from you personally (maybe a form letter or maybe not even that). I do think you owe it to all your constituents, be they Democratic or Republican, to take a good long hard look at what is happening to our country.

Remember, Pima County voted against Bush and the rest of Arizona could be following that pattern during the next elections.

Thank you for your time,

1. Thanks for taking the time and

thoughtfulness to write to your repug Senator about this on going exclusion in Tucson!

3. I have emailed him in the past and got nada in return.

Of course, I'm not holding my breath that he will actually liten to anyone from this state unless they are high-roller repugs.

I may not be the most eloquent of writers, but just felt I needed to share and possibly inspire others to voice their opinions.

2. Very nice!

You may want to add: PS: Shame on you Sen. McCain for acting as *cos. front man in kicking off the 'discussion' re: steroids in baseball back in late Nov., as the cover for what this admin is REALLY up to.

4. There are many other points I would have liked to have made.....

but ran out of room (they only allow so many characters in their email).

So much is happening in this country that our forefathers would be shocked if they could see how freedom is being gradually eroded.

Today was just one of those days when some things needed to be said.
