Topics go well beyond healthcare - 2d Amendment, tax policy, bailouts, and cap and trade. Makes one proud. Best example of democracy since the Revolution.

Picket the Congressional clunkers office. Stand the streets with signs. It will have the same effect.

They can run, but they can’t hide.

we need to keep the pressure on these @$$holes, and then drop them like a hot potato when they come up for re-election. We need a political bloodbath.

They might think they can “cancel” townhalls- but wait until the campaign speeches start. They can't campaign from inside locked offices unless they want to show everyone what craven arrogant partisan unrepresentative fools they have been.

Time for those who are truly politically “independent” to evaluate themselves and these politicians.

Pretty funny...these pols are so used to people being sheep that when the worm turns, they run and hide. They all better wake up because the silent majority is silent no more. They will be held accountable.

Is this the one who said that the town hall meetings made him want to press to pass the bill even more? He seems very arrogant and condescending the little twerp.

These corrupt bastards plan to ignore the wishes of the American public. They don’t care if they get defeated in the next election. They stand to gain much power and prestige in the democrat party.

my mouth is agape at how condescending he was, the little smirking side glances to his peeps up there when people refused to concede that global warming is real. he’s proud of the VA hosp, when the old vet told him, from personal experience it’s nothing to be proud of?

Since he is a Democrat, I would not bet on it. His parents would probably be exempt but anything or anyone that stands between a Democrat and power is expendable.

In other words if his children, wife, or parents has to die to keep him in power, so be it.

Only two ways this can go..

Politicians will become aware of what the electorate wants or

They will get scared and make one hell of a play to remain in power, it is a turbulent time.

All politics is local. I’ve seen all of this locally.

First they get mad and nasty. Then they cancel the meetings because you all showed up. Some of them become nice and support you. But most of them seek ways to destroy your leaders with scandals, etc. They also find sneaky ways to complete their original plans.

Only a relentless plan of opposition will stop them in the end and only sometimes.

And no matter what the issue, it’s really all about money.

This small POS and his peers will sneak off and call everyone at the meetings names that will be printed/aired on the lame-stream media.

They will then hide until the next session starts and vote for the communist bills because they have no intention of abiding by their oath of office and have every intention of turning this country into a worse place than North Korea.

Since this country still has some money, they can buy the technology needed to subjugate us in worse ways than any current, or past, despot has ever dreamed of.

I think it’s great...the energy is building and the Labor Day rallies and the March on DC will only add to it. Unfortunately, my ultra lib, black caucus, do nothing congress clunker has been gerrymandered into a totally safe district....so safe that he never gets either a primary opponent or a general election opponent......

Evictus Tyrranus! (just a little bit of dog latin here)

So protest his office.

We just got in the face of our local Congressional clunker and he says he is against this whole Obama agenda big time. We just wanted to make sure. People driving by will see, and spread the word. If you are brave use radio ads to get the message out.

Stand the sidewalks outside the clunker's offices.

Our guy is a staunch Conservative, but showing the flag to friendlies never hurts. Let’s them know we can help or hurt as the need arises.
