Screaming constituents, protesters dragged out by the cops, congressmen fearful for their safety — welcome to the new town-hall-style meeting, the once-staid forum that is rapidly turning into a house of horrors for members of Congress.
On the eve of the August recess, members are reporting meetings that have gone terribly awry, marked by angry, sign-carrying mobs and disruptive behavior. In at least one case, a congressman has stopped holding town hall events because the situation has spiraled so far out of control.
“I had felt they would be pointless,” Rep. Tim Bishop (D-N.Y.) told POLITICO, referring to his recent decision to suspend the events in his Long Island district. “There is no point in meeting with my constituents and [to] listen to them and have them listen to you if what is basically an unruly mob prevents you from having an intelligent conversation.”

Tar and feather ‘em. All the Dems. Every one of them. Flood their emails, call boxes and tell them both Cap and Tax and healthcare baloney is pure socialist tripe. Make them fearful.
Translation: Don’t these screechers know I’m so blackmailed over my mistresses and those “loans” and God knows what all crimes I’ve committed to get here, and I haven’t stolen enough yet to live on on a yacht when I get out of here
“A flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse.”

Perhaps this would be a good technique to get the attention of congressmen on recess who happen to show up at their local offices? I would think a local network of 20-30 people who are prepared to show up at the same time with signs when the representative of the people is ‘in’ would be attention getting. Have a ‘scout’ at the office to find out when the office holder is there, and flash mob it.
Amen!
Last TV I watched was Sarah's acceptance speech.
I don't miss it. Gives me more time to FReep :)
We have a Communist in the White House and scores of them in Congress. As we have already seen, they are trying, just as hard as we will passively allow them, to destroy this country. When will you "get religion"? -- when you are sitting inside the concentration camp?
Tell you what - I’ll “get religion” if you show up outside of your congressman’s office with a firearm...
What color shirt are you gonna wear so I can recognize you?
..DID YOU SEE this slam by a young Soldier..of course McCaskell was AWOL....but check the reaction of the crowd:

Meaning: make such a ruckus and sustained protest that he has no choice but to give the people what they want.
Apparently, this only works for Democrats. Screaming Republicans just make them wet their pants.

One would think so. I do believe their world has been "topsie turvied".....instead of them working for us, they believe we work for them.......fatal mistake.
Great sign.

“Just because they are not going to have town hall meetings now they sealed their fate in being voted out of office so they better enjoy their island beach houses while they can.”
They can steal all the elections they need and they have a ton of reprobate judges to certify the results. Bishop and Company won’t bat an eyelash.
