A husband and wife who wore anti-Bush T-shirts to the president?s Fourth of July appearance aren?t going down without a fight: They will be represented by lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union as they contest the trespassing charges against them Thursday morning in Charleston Municipal Court.
Police took Nicole and Jeff Rank away in handcuffs from the event, which was billed as a presidential appearance, not a campaign rally. They were wearing T-shirts that read, ?Love America, Hate Bush.?
Spectators who wore pro-Bush T-shirts and Bush-Cheney campaign buttons were allowed to stay.
?We weren?t doing anything wrong,? said Jeff Rank. The couple, who said they had tickets just like everybody else, said they simply stood around the Capitol steps with the rest of the spectators.
?We sang the national anthem,? Rank said.
