Report from Cleveland

CLEVELAND AT MAXIMUM SECURITY

MIKE AND LEE SNOVER IN CLEVELAND

Mike and Lee Snover from Northampton County have agreed to send the Observer a daily report of what's happening in Cleveland. Lee is a delegate to the Republican Convention from the 17th Congressional District. They arrived there today and are amazed at the security. Authorities are stopping cars as they take the exits to Cleveland and checking both occupants and cars. Everything around the convention site is shut down, including parking garages, etc. There seems to be one policeman for every 20 people, and many heavily armed police, Coast Guard and Secret Service. The delegates are shuttled by bus, with each bus having armed security on board.  There are helicopters circling over the area. The Snovers seemed to be somewhat relieved, as I know they were concerned as to what might happen there. Some are concerned the protesters may attempt to shut down the convention, but it sounds as though they have provided overwhelming force up to now. They will be providing the Observer with daily reports about what takes place this week from Cleveland.  Let's wish them well and look forward to their reports.
