Grand Junction Town Hall Meeting

To some of you I sent, earlier, an independent observer's opinion and observations of the TOWN HALL MEETING in Grand Junction, CO....Saturday, Aug. 18.

Now, here is a report from a different perspective of the same day....

I will tell you that, even at my age, some things still astound me and I consider myself very naive for believing the best in every situation. Individuals were allowed to go online and apply for tickets to this Town Hall to be held at one of our high schools...they would then do a random drawing and notify the winners of these tickets prior to the meeting.....I was notified on Thurs. evening that I had been selected to receive two tickets to attend this meeting on Sat. I had to go to the high school on Friday and pick them up and I had to show two forms of ID....I stood in line on Friday for an hour and received my tickets.....No. 888 and 889.

I asked a friend of mine to go with me as her son is the head of our Hospice and Pallative Care in Grand Junction and she had some real concerns and issues and wanted
to ask Obama about .

We drove to Central High and as we approached the parking lot, there were thousands of people (yes, indeed) one side was loaded with anti Obamacare and there were a few hundred on the other side....the police directed us where to park...by now, we are getting pretty excited about being part of this event. We walked up to a gate and showed our 2 (yes, 2) ID's and our tickets and waited in line with about 200 other people. Here is where it gets interesting...... groups of people were by passing this line and walking right up and through the school doors while the rest of us were waiting for our turn to go in..30 minutes later three law enforcement people came to the line and said, GO HOME, YOU CAN'T GET IN.....THE GYM IS FULL......We are all looking at one another and saying, but we have a ticket and they said, we don't care you can't get in.....WHAT IS GOING ON HERE????? We had to go back to the gate we came in and they locked it (paddle locked)....quite a few of us hung around not believing what had just happened and making various negative comments about it.

It wasn't until Sunday, we read, heard, discovered that the gym was already full of people from the front range who had been given tickets by other VIPS AND THAT THOSE OF US WHO OBTAINED OUR TICKETS LEGITIMATELY WERE SOL.......THE GOVERNOR gave out tickets, our two donkey Senators gave out tickets, the school district honchos had tickets for their friends and family, and the list goes on and on...The gym was completely stacked with people who were PRO Obama and it was a set up from the very beginning....it was right then and there whatever faith I had placed in this current administration went flying out the window and I could not believe how we had been duped.........There were people from Salt Lake City that had tickets and had driven to the event, only to be told to go home!!!!!

Even as I write this, I am still shaking my head......I am still learning about the people who say they only have our best interests at heart.....DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT.

We have apparently elected a viper to lead us!!!

You shouldn't ask such things. They'll explain.
