Martha Breene's Email and the Venango County GOP

In regards to Senator Santorum's visit, I was the one asked to leave. Interestingly it was announced in the paper that this was a public meeting. Secondly I am a Republican. Most everyone in the room knew me. I was clearly targeted because of my orientation and my friendship with the cameramen Joe and Dean. Many were surprised to see me and an associate (also Republican) escorted out. I did not make a scene, and I would like to believe that most in the room did not not know what was going on or they would have come to my defense. On my way out, one city official did exclaim that my removal was wrong, but did not have the authority to intervene. Interesting to see Marty Breene's email from that time.
