“Let freedom ring — somewhere else”
Free speech?
WHEN pResident Bush made his speech Sunday at the state Capitol, he proclaimed: “On this Fourth of July, we confirm our love of freedom, the freedom for people to speak their minds, the freedom for people to worship as they so choose. Free thought, free expression, that’s what we believe.”
But a Texas couple who tried to speak their minds were hauled away in handcuffs.
Jeff and Nicole Rank, reportedly from Corpus Christi, attended the Statehouse event wearing T-shirts saying “Love America, Hate Bush.”
The Ranks had come to West Virginia because the wife was doing environmental work for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, On Tuesday, Jeff Rank told some Charlestonians that FEMA had fired her. On Wednesday, a FEMA official said only that Nicole Rank had been “sent home.”
What does that mean? Was she sent back to Texas for wearing a shirt denouncing the president? Has her government job been terminated? FEMA spokesman Ross Fredenburg would not say Wednesday whether Nicole Rank had been fired.
