Raus Raus...Ve are taking you to Boulder for relocation and rest !!!!WASHINGTON - The Democratic Party likes to boast that it's a big tent for all - except for the homeless at the upcoming national convention.
A highly unusual effort is planned in Denver, site of Barack Obama's nomination next month, to sweep the city's homeless out of view of convention-goers - by giving them free tickets to the movies, museums and the zoo!
One homeless-rights advocate was fuming over the plan.
"It just sounds like another way to get rid of them," Kayne Coy, 17, who volunteers feeding the homeless twice a week, told the paper.
Denver's homeless also will be given the bum's rush to shelters normally designed to house them only during the winter.
Big-screen TVs are being donated to the shelters so the "patrons" can watch the convention and stay informed about the issues being discussed.
"We are keen advocates of the homeless and want to protect their rights and give them options," she said.
The heightened security will encroach on the city spaces used by the homeless and throngs of demonstrators will disrupt others, she added.
But some homeless citizens themselves are suspicious of the city's motives and the motives of the convention organizers.
The Democratic National Committee didn't return calls for comment.
