Group Plans To Protest President Obama

A few weeks ago, 2 on the Beat informed you that President Barack Obama plans to visit Texas A&M on Friday, October 16th.

President Obama will honor former President George H. W. Bush and celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Points of  Light Foundation.

The timing of  the trip falls in the  middle of a national debate on controversial health care reform, and some  Tea Party Groups are making plans to protest against the President.

This is a copy of  a notice posted on the website of a group named “North Houston Tea Party Patriots.”

This may be our best chance to show up in (peaceful) opposition to this President and his administration & policies!  With two Presidents in attendance, security will be extremely tight, but mark your calendar and be prepared to show up if a protest can be arranged.

 If   anti-Obama folks do show up holding signs and yelling against the President’s policies,  there will be lots of national and statewide media to cover the  protest.

On the other hand, with so much anger and the unprecedented number of death threats targeting President Obama, you can bet that the U.S. Secret Service and local law enforcement will do their best to keep the Tea Party Members far away from the event.

2 On the Beat is scheduled to report on the President’s visit.

I will keep you posted on the details and the plans to protest.
