In Oregon, three school teachers were recently removed from a Bush campaign event and threatened with arrest. Although the women had tickets for the events and were not engaged in any form of public protest, security guards approached them after seeing their t-shirts that read “Protect Our Civil Liberties.” One of the teachers, Janet Voorhies, said, “I wanted to see if I would be able to make a statement that I feel is important, but not offensive, in a rally for my president.”

Last month in Eugene Oregon, 54-year-old Perry Patterson was arrested and charged with criminal trespass after attending a campaign event by Vice President Dick Cheney. When Cheney told the crowd that President Bush has made the world safer, Patterson blurted out the word “No” and was arrested soon after.

And earlier this week police dragged out three protesters from a Bush campaign rally in Lancaster Penn. after the protesters shouted out that the president was a liar.
