1. Gee, he's not coming to N CA. How suprising.

:sarcasm:

[LynneSin]

2. He can save money by skipping Delaware

because no one except the most hardcore right-wingers are interested in his program. And believe me, we well outnumber those hardcore rightwingers

[RobertSeattle]

3. Not coming within 1000 miles of Seattle

[Scairp]

4. Now, everyone send a nice comment

And be professional, no name calling or anything.

5. I want to know where we request a refund of our tax dollars that are

paying for these GOP functions, which exclude any dissent.

6. He's not coming to MN, either

but they're sure drilling down in a lot of other places.

Just a heads up....

7. UPDATE 2-Snow says baffled by resistance to private accounts

By Laura MacInnis

BOZEMAN, Montana, March 30 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow, faced with protesters demonstrating against the Bush administration's plans to overhaul the Social Security system, said on Wednesday he was puzzled by resistance to the proposal to create private retirement accounts. <snip>

More than 30 protesters, spanning several generations, held up signs reading "No Personal Accounts" and "Don't Be Snowed -- Save Social Security" along the highway outside the hotel where Snow made his speech.

"I just don't think there is a set enough plan," said 19-year-old Lily Williams, referring to the private accounts. She said "not any of my questions" were being addressed by the White House overhaul proposals. <snip>

"You don't tear down your house if your plumbing is leaking. You repair the pipe," she said, echoing recent advertisements by the AARP, a major group representing senior citizens. <snip>
