I have bought stuff from Cabelas, but no more. If they're supporting
Bush and his environmental policies they can do without my money.

Damn. I noticed a mention on a flyer for that when I was down there a
while back, but assumed they were giving space to both parties.
Weird. It's not as if the Bush adminstration is making any effort to
get sportsmen on their side by their policies and actions.

I checked with Cabela's. Their response is below. It appears that
Kerry would get the same courtesy if he requested it.

Thanks for the comments and vote of support. Recently, we've been
taken to task for allowing politicians to visit our stores and we are
somewhat puzzled by that. We look at it as providing a public service,
providing a forum for the exchange of political ideas and information.
Informed voters, we should all hope, make the best decisions.

Officially, Cabela's takes no sides in the presidential election, but
have so far honored requests from the President and Vice President to
visit our stores. To our way of thinking, when the President and Vice
President of the United States ask to appear, well, they are the
leaders of our country and, politics aside, they deserve respect and
consideration.

It has been our policy not to solicit political appearances, from
either side, but we will show appropriate courtesy when approached.

Again, thanks for you comments.

Sincerely,

Joe Arterburn

Hear, hear!

Someone write up a petition. I'll sign.

[Particle Salad]

I received a similar response:

------------
No, Cabela's is not sponsoring town hall meetings for Bush or any
presidential candidate. The President and Vice President have asked to visit
our stores, which we have allowed them to do, just as we have for the
Kerry-Edwards camp.

Cabela's will not endorse either candidate nor take sides in this
presidential contest.

We believe we can best provide a service to voters by providing a forum for
the exchange of ideas and political commentary. Informed voters, as we all
know, are the best voters.

Again, Cabela's is not taking either side nor sponsoring town hall meetings,
but, in the interest of fairness, welcomes both sides equally.

Thanks for contacting us and letting us know your concern.

If you believe that your dummer than a three year old crowbar.
If your a good citizen you should have been able to get into to Cabelas and
hear the President of the United States. These weren't civic afairs they
were campaign events for Bush and his Handler to get elected ( not
re-elected mind you) Cabelas made their store availabe for canidate Bush
and Cheney, not the president or the VP. If you wante to attend and your
a democrat, a Nader supporter, a socialist or a prohibitionst your SOL.
All the attendees are preselected and sign the paper that says there going
to vote for Shrub.

Jeepers! So much anger here! I wasn't trying to change your mind. I
just thought it might be interesting to here what Cabela's had to say
about the matter.

I don't think much of Kerry, but I wouldn't be upset of Cabele's
hosted a speech for him. How are we supposed to know how to vote if
we don't hear what these people have to say? Am I supposed to slam
anyone who provides a forum for Kerry? Am I to believe that the
audience is never screened at events for Democrats?

I'll bet you dismissed anyone who criticized the Dixie Chicks for
speaking their minds as right-wing fanatics. You're bitching about
Cabela's just for allowing Bush to speak. What does that make you?

Have a nice day. I'm going to do some fishing!

No Clear Channel Radio--right-wing media giants--have silenced the Dixie Chicks.

Obviously, if big business and industry have a right to prevent the American
electorate from voicing it's opinions, the electorate has a right to boycott big
business and industry. I guess that would make us equals?

That is right!! If you do not know who you are going to vote for, you
should listen to what Shrub has to say. Guess what? If you do not know
who you are going to vote for, you are NOT WELCOME at shrubs speeches.
In order to attend a shrub speech, you are required to sign a political
loyalty oath approved by the
Republican national committee. "I, [full name] ... do herby [sic] endorse
George W Bush for reelection of the United States." The form noted: "In
signing the above endorsement you are consenting to use and release of
your name by Bush-Cheney as an endorser of President Bush."

Aren't the Dixie Chicks, Springsteen, et. al. on tour at the moment
promoting something called "Vote for Change" or something like that?
So where's the oppression from the "right-wing media giants"?

This thread started because Cabela's allowed Bush/Cheney to speak at
their stores. I don't see how that translates to big business and
industry preventing the electorate from voicing its opinions.

I wouldn't know, really. However, a concert tour doesn't equate with: "... Clear
Channel owns or operates 1,165 radio stations in the United States."
(http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,54036,00.html)

"It's also the nation's largest concert promoter and one of the largest billboard
companies." (http://www.post-gazette.com/tv/20020623clear0623fnp3.asp)

> So where's the oppression from the "right-wing media giants"?

Read the related articles in the links provided above and you'll get a CLEAR CHANNEL
picture.

That's right, and when Cabela's *invites* Kerry/Edwards to hold campaign rallies at
the VERY SAME outlets it provided to the Bush/Cheney campaign, I will withdraw my
complaint.

>I don't see how that translates to big business and

Think monopolization of media outlets!

Seriously, read the post-gazette link, and imagine that one far-left liberal
corporation controlled so much of the nations broadcast media and billboard
advertising.

"FCC commissioners and lawmakers have been particularly concerned about radio
companies like Clear Channel Communications Inc., the biggest radio station owner with
about 1,200, owning all of the stations in a market."
(http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/nm/industry_fcc_dc)


"'The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia in June stayed the
FCC rules and ordered the agency to use viewer data to amend the regulations. Without
a detailed viewership assessment, the FCC cannot accurately measure media diversity,
the court said.'

'The court said to get a consistent methodology across markets that takes into account
the audience that uses news," Cooper said. "Making sure control of news production is
not restricted to a handful of media companies is a key goal of the agency's
regulations, and the court recognized that.'"

I could be wrong, but I don't believe NPR is a US government entity. I'd also be
willin' to bet that it receives less government funding than Exxon. "If "public"
means "government funded," then some listeners are in for a shock: NPR is not a
government broadcaster."
