John McCain (R-AZ) was in Denver, CO, today for a town hall meeting. The event, at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, was billed as '<a href="http://cbs4denver.com/local/mccain.aspen.speech.2.764781.html">open to the public</a>.' Yet Carole Kreck, a 61-year-old librarian carrying a 'McCain=Bush' sign, <a href="http://www.progressnowaction.org/page/community/post/al/Cqyh">was taken away by police [on orders from McCain's security detail] for trespassing</a>. A police officer told Kreck:<blockquote>'You have two choices. You can keep your sign here and receive a ticket for trespassing, or you can remove the sign and stay in line and attend this town hall meeting.'</blockquote>Kreck received a ticket for trespassing and her court date is July 23."^{<a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2008/07/07/librarian-with-mccainbush-sign-kicked-out-of-public-campaign-event/">*</a>}. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lyaMrS0hzk&eurl=http://thinkprogress.org/">Video </a>of Kreck's encounter with the police.
