It turns out Cindy wasn’t the only one facing problems last night:

Florida Rep.’s Wife Says She Was
Ejected From State Of Union

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The wife of Rep. C.W. Bill Young, R-Indian
Shores, told a newspaper that she was ejected during the State of the Union
address for wearing a T-shirt that says, “Support the Troops Defending Our
Freedom.”

Beverly Young told the St. Petersburg Times that she was sitting in the
front row of the House gallery Tuesday night when she was approached by
someone who told her she needed to leave.

She said she reluctantly agreed, but argued with several officers in an
outside hallway.

In a telephone interview with the newspaper, Young said she told them her
shirt wasn’t a protest but a message of support.

Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider said Young wasn’t ejected from the
gallery and she left on her own. She couldn’t provide additional details.

Young’s husband found out about the incident after Bush’s speech and
called it unacceptable.

OK. I have a major problem here. Young’s wife was asked to leave. She even
argued with the police but was allowed to stay in the gallery. Why didn’t she
get the same treatment Cindy did? She should of been handcuffed and held until
after the speech or Cindy should of received the same treatment Mrs. Young got.

If Bush wants to really unite this country then he will make a statement
speaking out against what happened and call for an investigation into the
difference in treatment between the two women. This is unacceptable.
