Aurora plant the backdrop for science spending push

By Lisa Smith
Daily Herald Staff Writer

snip>>>>>
President Bush’s Chicago visit Friday included a tour of an Aurora technology plant, where he thanked hometown U.S. Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert for supporting his plan to double the federal government’s research budget “to help companies like this stay on the leading edge of change.”


snip>>>>>
More than a dozen protesters were among the throng of onlookers gathered outside the plant, shouting anti-Bush and anti-Hastert messages at drivers passing through the Meridian Business Park on the city’s far east side.

Holding up a sign identifying herself as a “Naperville soccer mom against Bush,” Wendy Danrich said she wanted to send this message to the commander in chief: He doesn’t enjoy blanket support in middle America.

“Mainstream America is feeling frustrated with this administration,” Danrich said, adding that she disagrees with the president’s policies on health care, Social Security and the Iraq war.

A few feet away, Anna Wills of Plainfield hoisted a navy blue Bush-Cheney sign into the air. She said she supports the president.

“It’s difficult to take a country to war,” Wills said. “War is difficult for everybody. It’s important that we be a little more united, a little more patriotic.”

BITE ME ANNA !!
