designated protest zones in west virginia

Two people protesting against President Bush were cited for trespassing Sunday shortly before the president gave a speech at the state [West Virginia] Capitol.

Nicole and Jeffrey Rank of Corpus Christie, Texas, say they were removed from the event because they wore t-shirts bearing anti-Bush messages.

i couldn’t find details on the t-shirts, but we do have the president on the record at the event in question…

And today we remember names like Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin. We honor their courage and we honor their vision on the 4th of July. We’re thankful that this nation they created 228 years ago remains free and independent and the best hope for all mankind.

Today is the day we gather with our friends and family and give thanks to the United States of America; give thanks to the fact that we are citizens in a free land.

free for some, anyway.

i wasn’t using my civil rights anyway
