I got this from my dad who received it from a friend:

Hi!, Received this from a very good friend in PA. she wants everyone to know
what she saw.

Good Tuesday morning! John Kerry brought his "front porch
meeting" to our Canonsburg, PA neighborhood Labor Day morning. Since you
will never hear the truth from the TV or print media I thought you should
know from someone who was ‘almost' there.

The residents who live on the street where the event took place were not allowed to attend.

Kerry shipped in approximately 90 invitation only VIPs. In addition, there was a
hard luck case who was about to lose her job at USAIR and another was an
elderly woman who was having health care problems. Neither one was from this
neighborhood. The street was closed to all traffic the night before and all
residents on the street were REQUIRED to remove their Bush/Cheney signs.

The sympathetic police officers on duty told us that Kerry used imminent
domain to claim the street for his purposes. Residents who have homes within
the perimeter (approximately 1 full block) were kept behind a line away from
the partisan crowd. The rest of us were not allowed within the 1 block
cordon.

A neighbor from across the street came to the line where we were
being kept and asked us to come onto his property. The police told us we
could stand on this man’s FORMERLY private property! This was set up so
Kerry's views could be heard -- but not the neighbors. About 30 peoples’
(mostly neighbors) shouts echoed down the street "Let the neighbors in."

We could barely hear Kerry speaking with his microphone because press buses
were used to block us off from view! This mornings papers are reporting
hecklers tried to interrupt Kerry as he spoke to the
neighborhood gathering, but he turned our chants to his favor by calling us
rude.

Even though most of the media was there to record our stories of not
being included in the neighborhood forum, not one of them printed or aired
the truth. This is what America will look like if Kerry becomes president. ·
Get registered and get all of your friends registered to vote if they have
not already. Kerry thinks he is better than the rest of us and he has the
media on his side to make him out to be what he is not!

Finally, last night as I drove down the street where the rally was, I was shocked to see
Bush/ Cheney signs in almost every yard on the street! Please send this
e-mail on to as many people as you can. LET FREEDOM RING!

Groan, not this one again. This is a hoax, one of those urban legend things. It's appeared several times already on the SVPT boards.

Yup, urban legend for sure... Kerry no longer draws crowds. LOL

Can this be vetted or is it one of those email things that'll come back to haunt me if I post it on my blog?

If its factual it's disgusting and needs to be told.
