I learned that President Obama will be dedicating the Cesar Chavez national monument in Bakersfield on Friday. Now I lived there for many years and it is in this part of the country that people used to spit at me- I kid you not-in public places like grocery stores- because I was an organic farmer- oh such a serious crime!!~!!!! Oh yikes!!!!!!!!!! and so I am all on alert again. This is teaparty heavenland and there are a good number of people all fired up by hate radio 24/7. Lots of rampant racism as well.
I am going to be sending extra protection for him and the secret service while there. It has a Dallas feel to it for me. Now I realize that I am way over the top with worries like this, but one reason I come here to be with all of you is that I feel it is OK to share these feelings with all of you. Thank you.
