My husband called the NYPD to ask who had issued a Certificate of Occupancy or Fire Safety Inspection Certificate and who wasmanaging Pier 57. He was given the number for the Republican National Committee. Yes. My husband and I looked at each other in silent, cold horror. In America? The Republicans have set up a private detention camp for their political prisoners that can hold 1000 under inhumane and unsafe conditions!? My husband slowly dialed that number, got the RNC, and the Republican rep who answered the phone said, in answer to my husbands' inquiries about safety: "those protesters don't deserve a Holiday Inn, and they're all criminals anyway!"
....Say what?! My daughter, who doesn't smoke or drink or do drugs and is a practicing Buddhist Vegan? A criminal? Warning signs that reporters saw posted around Pier 57 said not to enterwithout protective clothing and mask. My exhausted daughter, with hundreds of others, tried to sleep that first night ...on the chemical-covered oily, cold cement floor of these pens, without food or water, without being read her rights, without being offered a chance to post bail, without seeing a judge although the National Lawyers Guild offered to represent them pro bono, without being charged or told why she was arrested and handcuffed and taken there, without being allowed to make a call to a lawyer or friend or parent or anyone -- all cell phones were confiscated as "terrorist weapons." Her purse was taken. She had nothing but the clothes on her back. Meanwhile...ordinary criminals arrested that same day in NYC for burglary, rape and heinous crimes were processed by the courts in less than 10 hours. My daughter, who had committed no crime, was incarcerated for three days incommunicado. People suffered chemical burns, bug bites, overcrowding and medical problems because their medicine was confiscated. A pregnant woman sat crying on the floor in the oil.
One of the individuals being held was a girl dressed up in a black dress. Starr said the girl had been stepping out of her apartment to go out when she was swept up with a group and arrested.

The demo-rats force demonstrators blocks away form their convention and require them to be in cages. Cages their enviro-wackos would throw a fit over for animals.
Republicans are supposedly afraid of dissent ? Republicans didn't require peacful demonstrators to demonstrate in cages. Those that were unlawful were incarcerated, and rightfully so, just deserts. Demonstrators are all to often fronted by Communist organizations anyway, seems to blind them to traitorous activity being patriotic. Or manybe its the corrupted kool-aid they force themselves to drink. Ann Coulter RULES!

If you listen to network news and swallow their BU# poll data, at least HALF of America loves Bush. HALF! I'm sorry, but that cannot be true. Not based on what I hear everyday. I don't know ANYONE who likes Bush. That's not to say they aren't out there. I know they are. They bother me at work! Damn phones. By and large, though, they are either rednecks or religious zealots who would lick satan's a$$ if he pledged to vote Republican. They're sheep who will be led to the slaughter.
You get my support.Its Satan roaming the earth, and currently residing at the White House. Disgusting.
