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

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.
