CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A couple from Texas was taken out of a speech given by President Bush in West Virginia Sunday.
Police placed Nicole and Jeffery Rank of Corpus Christi in restraints after they entered the event with a ticket and then removed their clothes to reveal anti-Bush T-shirts, according to the acting director of the Capitol police in Charleston.
He said the two were asked to go out to the designated protest area, but refused.
Bush came to West Virginia on the nation's 228th birthday to honor the country's veterans and garner support for invading Iraq.
About 6,500 people packed into the Capitol's north courtyard to hear him.
As police rushed her out, Nicole Rank shouted that they were told they couldn't be there because they were wearing anti-Bush shirts.
Police say the two were issued citations for trespassing and released"
Why would they be trespassing if they had tickets??
The Republicans will stop at nothing including arresting people who wear TEE SHIRTS!

you should know by now that Bush always wants to be surrounded by "yes-men." Dissension is not allowed.

As with both Democrats and Reppublicans. Protest groups are not allowed into the area where the speech is given. What makes this couple any different. They have a designated area for protestors. It's with any speech where they expect protestors. Maybe with a little research you would see that
It isn't Democrated or Republican thing it is with any protest groups protesting a speech or rally.
