This is an email i recieved from a family member..EDITED TO ADD: I personaly think its BS too but thought id post it here to see if it can be uncovered..


Passing this on...

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 on Labor Day morning.  Since you will
never
hear the truth from the TV or print media I thought that 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 eminent
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
that we could stand on this man's FORMERLY private property!  This was set
up so that Kerry's views could be heard - but not the neighbors.  About 30
people's (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 morning's 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 that 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

I have to call BS on this as well.  

I don't believe that any court would allow a government official to claim eminant domain for a campaign speech.  It's possible the campaign went up and told these people to remove their signs and they did so bitching under their breath and not standing up for themselves
