Not Quite Another Rant by Bettyjean Kling
We stood with you! C4M, RealDems, Puma’s, JSND, NOQ, and RiverD - We stood with you.You called – we came- you asked, we delivered. You wrote – we posted. Are we all still together now? We need a little help – please post our peaceful march at state college on 10/13. We have our permit and we are begging for help and our request remains seemingly ignored and now we find out one of our dearest friends has discouraged participation and would leave us standing out on that street alone. WHY do that behind the scenes rather than discussing it between us weeks ago?
As for my other dear friends I am personally asking at this late date if you would help me out here? I am desperate with 5 days to go- a poor showing will reflect on all of us.
I sit writing this with tears in my eyes having learned such a thing as this. We have supported you and we will continue to do so for love of country and while we do not understand why you will not help us now – I will ask one more time – Please do not leave us out on that street alone. If you can not come stand with us - do not discourage others from coming and please post the event on your sites so that they can make up their own minds. We will be happy on 10/13 to pass out your flyers for you throughout the day as you desire and then march at 2:30 and show PA that they can stand us up at the gates of hell but we won’t back down!The few of us that are going it alone are heart broken and questioning why those we looked up as the leaders of this movement seem to have abandoned us? Please reconsider and post our event- we plan no disrespect - we folks from PA want to be seen and heard from and we deserve your support on Columbus day at Penn State University, where the township decided to bend their own rules and gives us a permit in order to allow freedom of assembly.

thank you and help us to make the march a success...
Betty Jean, I live in FL and cannot help personally but I want you to know I will be there in spirit. I have just heard that Sarasota, a normally Republican stronghold, in leaning toward Obama. It is hard to keep being positive when we see and hear, especially from women, that people follow him blindly. But through all the negatives that are thrown at us, we must continue to have hope. You are really not along. We must keep trying to get the word out.
Betty Jean-
My best to you and if you post the details again I will pass the word on. I am in KY and will not be able to attend, but I agree it is important to keep the momentum going. It is not over and we should take every opportunity to remind the world we are not happy and we are not going away.
