A Council Bluffs high school student who wanted to see President Bush is upset that she had to return her tickets after a Republican staffer saw Democratic bumper stickers on the car she was driving.

Seventeen-year-old Allison Plummer, a senior at Abraham Lincoln High School, said she was driving her parents' car which has a John Kerry bumper sticker on it. She said her parents are Democrats, but she hasn't yet registered with any party.

Plummer waited in line for four hours last Thursday to get the tickets for Bush's Monday appearance at the Mid-America Center. After she got to her car, a staff worker stopped her and demanded the tickets back. Plummer said she just wanted to see the president and hear his point of view on the issues.

Another Abraham Lincoln student, Allison Brown, said she couldn't even get a ticket after she told workers she was still undecided. She said they told her that the Bush campaign isn't allowing undecided voters to hear him.
