I live in South Bend Indiana. I am sure that everyone has heard or seen what I have been seeing for weeks on end. We have a plane flying over the city and approxmately 5 trucks that are showing pictures of aborted babies, and other disturbing pictures. It has been going on so long that even people that are pro-life are getting tired of seeing the pictures. Not that the plane and trucks were enough the protestors are enjoying pushing stollers with dolls covered in red paint onto the Notre Dame campus. Once they are on campus they get immediately arrested but this does nothing to stop them. It actually seems to encouage them more. So, why am I writing to give them more coverage. I am trying to get the word out there are a lot MORE people that support President Obama and Notre Dames decision to have him speak at the commencement.
I am a proud member of a grass roots group called - YES WE DID MICHIANA. We are dedicated to supporting the President and his agenda through grassroots and community service. When we heard the President was coming to South Bend we decided we wanted to hold a Welcome Rally and Food Drive. We have been planning this for weeks and have gotten a lot of support from throughout the Country of people that agree with us. Now, getting press coverage is another thing. The press does not want to really show we are here becuase we are not disturbing the peace and we are not being arrested but WE ARE HERE!!!
We will be meeting near the airport tomorrow to have our Welcome Rally and then we will be going into the community to have a food drive. All the food we collect will be donated to our local food pantries and donated in the name of the ND Seniors. We have people coming from all over the State as well as MI and IL and I welcome anyone else to join in our efforts.
