Cabelas has been hosting Bush and his gang of thieves in various locations
for town hall meetings. Here DICKs speach in the "Minnesota small
business".

I had them take me off the mailing list, River City fly shop never looked
better.

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
