| Pro-Kerry thugs invade Milwaukee GOP center |
| 2004-10-06 |
| More than 50 demonstrators supporting Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry stormed a Republican campaign office in West Allis at mid-day today, trespassing, creating a disturbance through the use of a bullhorn in the office and then refusing to leave when asked. The Chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin (RPW) condemned the action by Kerry supporters, and asked the Kerry campaign and the Democrat Party of Wisconsin to do the same. "Do John Kerry and Wisconsin Democrats really believe this is conduct becoming of a presidential candidate and his campaign?" RPW Chairman Rick Graber asked. "It is unfortunate that Team Kerry feels the need to engage in such childish and obnoxious behavior. "The President and his campaign will continue to talk about the issues in Wisconsin," Graber added. "Let's hope that someday soon, the Kerry campaign and Wisconsin Democrats will join us and put an end to this foolishness." Graber called the latest incident part of a disturbing trend of criminal conduct by anti-Bush forces in Wisconsin, pointing to an incident in Madison last week in which Bush-Cheney yard signs were stolen from the yards of three homes. The vandals then used chemicals to burn swastikas into the lawns of the homes, which were within a two-block radius of one another. In addition, reports of stolen, defaced and damaged Bush-Cheney campaign signs are surfacing throughout Wisconsin. "Our volunteers, from children to the elderly, have every right to feel safe when they are working on behalf of a cause and candidates they believe in," Graber commented. "This type of thuggish, intimidating conduct is absolutely unacceptable. It is time for John Kerry, the Wisconsin Democrat party, and Kerry's campaign leaders, including Gov. James E. Doyle, to put a stop to this shameful behavior." |
