Don't Mess with Colorado...and Waxman!

Remember those three people who were ousted by Bushies during a Colorado stop on the Social Insecurity tour? The incident may be coming back to bite Bush in the butt! He's been using taxpayers' money to go on this 60-day tour, and the only way that's legal is if he makes it an informational tour for ALL people! His visits cannot be partisan or political. Read here for complete article.

Waxman said that expelling people with contrary views and promoting a partisan agenda are "hallmarks of campaign events, not government-funded political meetings."

A student was barred from a similar event in Arizona for wearing a Young Democrats T-shirt.

In North Dakota, a list surfaced that banned 42 people from getting tickets to another Bush speech in the campaign.

White House spokesman Allen Abney has refused to provide the cost of the Social Security trips, saying it is wrapped up in the annual presidential travel budget.

Taxpayers have paid more than $2 million just for the flights in the Social Security campaign, which is a bit more than half over, according to calculations made by The Washington Post.
