Clinton Ally Barred From Clinton Appearance
This is awkward: The Hillary Clinton campaign has "barred" Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline – a former Clinton Rhode Island campaign chair – from the former first lady's appearance in the state on Sunday, according to the Providence Journal.
Why? Because Cicilline doesn't get along with the local firefighters' union, and the Clinton campaign fears that if he shows up they will protest at the event.
Cicilline is no fan of Team Clinton's decision.
"It's obviously something for me to think about very carefully, because I am very disappointed in the decision of the Clinton campaign. I'm not prepared to say more than that today. I obviously have tremendous respect for Senator Clinton, but I'm very disappointed in the decision of her campaign today," he said.
Rhode Island voters go to the polls on Tuesday, March 4th. There are 32 delegates at stake in the state, and a Brown University poll earlier this month showed Clinton with an eight point lead.

And you don''t see a difference? Obama ASKED his supporter and the man complied. Hilary sends goons to bar the way of one of her supporters and alienates them. Why did she not just be a human and ask him not to attend, explaining why and what was at stake--too much like being decent and considerate?
Oh yeah--she did it to this man because either she figures she does not need him or his state OR that she can make it up to him later--because like most of her supporters--he''s too stupid to know she does not really give a rat''s azz about him.
Go Obama!

Some of you may remember the acquittal of Hillary%u2019%u2019s campaign finance chairman, David Rosen, in May 2005. The judge who presided was the Clinton-appointed A. Howard Matz. Many strange anomalies occured during the trial, and some people believe the trial could be named the Los Angeles Black Sox Trial. Of course, there have been many of those, haven%u201Dt there?
After my visit today to the FBI, I stopped at an office for several hours of business, then I paid a visit to the courtroom of one A. Howard Matz to drop off a 5-page letter into his mailbox.
