Hello, barker
Just checking back to see if anyone had responded. So happy you’ll be there. If you can bring anyone with you, please do. Looking forward to meeting you.
Hope others are coming on Saturday
Kim, please do copy the Missouri list as I don’t know how to do that. Sorry. Thanks for all your help. Off to bed. Will be back tomorrow afternoon.
i wish i could go, but then again, they would be dragging me away in cuffs.
This is Cleaver’s only meeting with his constituents this recess. So far, just two freepers say they will be there, and I’m one of them. This is pitiful. We, as a nation, are on the edge of disaster. HELP!!!!
Please let me know if you plan on attending the following event. I’ll go alone, but I’d love some company.

Low volume ping list
FReepmail me to be on, or off, this list.
I will try to be there but cannot make any guarantees as I'm just coming off hernia surgery this week.
Looking forward to meeting you, Joe. But do take care of yourself first.
Don’t think you’ll be alone! DarlaJ has been talking about it on her program on KMBZ(980-AM) and it has been listed in the KC Tea Party site, although it was not on there this morning-hmmmm. I’m getting ready and will be there at the appointed hour.

I’m so embarrassed because now I won’t be there. When I woke up this morning, there was no water! We had a main break last evening that was just fixed — I have no water to speak of. I’m so upset (I wanted to write something a little stronger, but you never know who’s going to be reading what you write. LOL)
Please let me know how it all went.
Well, no wonder Barker and I couldn’t find you! Not having any idea what you look like didn’t help. There were a good 300-350 people there, and Cleaver was giving those who had filled out a ~paper~ 3 minutes a piece. Even though he stayed ‘til almost eleven, that meant way less than 100 people got to speak to him. He didn’t address the crowd, and most had gone by the time he left the coffee shop.
The crowd looked evenly split between the two sides. Our side had the hand-lettered signs, while the other side had the printed signs. Some heated discussions broke out but there were no fisticuffs.
Next time we’ll have to get more coordinated!

Thank you so very much for letting me know what happened. Our water did not return until just a few minutes ago — just before 1:00 p.m. Did you get to ask any questions? Did anyone film the event? Will any of us who were there post an update?
Took some pictures and a little video and will try to get them up sometime today.
Weasel Cleaver wouldn’t face us directly. Hid behind the one-on-one format. The coffee shop was small and packed by 7:30. Chanels 5, 9 and 41 were there that I saw.
There was one arrest but it was for a traffic violation. Crowd seemed good natured for the most part. As LSAggie said there were a few heated discussions.
Talked to several nice people and told them about FR. Talked to a couple of not so nice ones too. Shook hands with a Patriot Guard Rider and thanked him for what they do.
