And one of them is a Fargo City Commissioner. She (along with the other commissioners) was given a ticket from the mayor, but hadn't planned on going. When she found out she was on the list, she decided to show up with her ticket in hand. I wonder if they arrested her.White House spokesman Jim Morrell and Don Larson, a spokesman for the North Dakota governor's office, say they don't know anything about such a list.
"This is the first I'm hearing of it," Morrell said when contacted Wednesday.
But two sources close to Tuesday's ticket distribution confirmed the list exists and includes a handful of names of people who were not to receive tickets to today's event at North Dakota State University's Bison Sports Arena.[...]
The list was supplied to workers at the two Fargo distribution sites, along with tickets and other forms citizens were asked to fill out upon receiving them. People who handed out tickets had copies of the list at their tables to determine if anyone should be denied access, both sources said.
The list contains a wide range of people. Several wrote opinion page letters to The Forum criticizing Bush or the war in Iraq. Others wrote letters in support of gay rights or of Democratic policies.
