Mary alleges police intimidation

In her latest newsletter Mary Souza sez the poor Recall Cda folks are being intimidated as they strive to collect signatures. "The Police were called and came by frequently. The Code Enforcement officer came by multiple times as well. Intimidation? Heck yeah."

And apparently the Breakfast Nook gave Recall Cda the boot. "And then there's the Breakfast Nook," writes Mary. "They are not on the heros list...not yet anway. They gave the Recall permissin to use their parking lot for a signing station, and everything was going well until the Press showed up. A reporter from the Press started going through the restaurant, asking the food servers and other people what they thought of the Recall table outside. The owner got nervous and asked our Recall folks to leave. The Breakfast Nook buckled under the pressure."

Oh my goodness! Scary police, rogue reporters! Will the Recallers trauma never end? I have a feeling the Breakfast Nook is going to get a lot more business this weekend, how about you? You can read the Souza screed here.

PS: Someone should tell Mary how to spell heroes.

Thoughts?
