Birthday Party Billing Was a Ruse
The “birthday” party for Mrs. Kemp, wife of VP candidate Jack Kemp in a Fillmore city park, billed as a historical event is a political event. Children were let out of the local public school to attend, and these kids were instructed to make signs of greeting.
Persons of the opposing party were told they could not display partisan signs. That is unlawful, unconstitutional. Anybody can carry a picket style sign following the rules for doing so like “keep moving, don’t block fire lanes, don’t block entrances, etc.”
The sponsors of the “birthday” event exploited local public school children and their teachers, and abused the U.S. Constitution.
