| MONROE - It appears an extremist right-wing group called the "Conservative Caucus of Monroe County" is planning to disrupt the Monroe County Fair Parade on Sunday.
This is apparently the whacko group responsible for the fake anti-Obama and anti-Democratic "Tea Parties" here in Monroe. The Grand Marshal of the parade is U.S. Rep. John Dingell, D-Dearborn.
The group is calling its disrespectful and illegal protest "Operation Urgent Fury," and according to their web site the plan is"to give "Representative John Dingell a reception he won't forget when he comes to Monroe to participate in the Monroe County Fair Parade."
John Dingell is the longest serving Congressman in history, serving since 1955, and he is a friend to the working man, the environment and those without a voice in the political process.
At the beginning of every session of Congress since 1955, Congressman Dingell introduces the national health insurance bill, just like his father before him did. He is continuing that fight against right-wing lies and scare tactics that are in full throat today.
We need everyone to come out and support Congressmen Dingell against these extremist nut jobs. The parade starts at 1 p.m., and the Monroe County Democratic Party will meet at the corner of Jones Ave. and S. Monroe St. at 12:30 p.m. to line up for the parade.
See you there. |
