“verifying residency by requiring photo identification, Green said. “
Maybe they should insist upon that for voting?
Rep. Gene Green (D-Texas) announced Monday on his Web site that he is restricting attendance to his public events to residents of his district.
Unfortunately, due to a coordinated effort to disrupt our town hall meetings, we will be restricting further attendance to residents of the 29th Congressional District and verifying residency by requiring photo identification, Green said.
Gene Green has REPEATEDLY voted AGAINST Voter ID legislation.
Damned hypocrite.
The Democrats put The Party ahead of the country EVERY time.
Is this in violation of any open meetings act?
I can see a strategery ahead that will finally require voters to show ID...
rumors of tea baggers arriving by the busload at democrat congressmen’s polling places
So dissent and debate = bad behavior.
STATE DEMOCRATIC/SOCIALIST PARTY would be more appropriate.
There is no perversion like California perversion. The cynicism and utter contempt for morality in California is like nowhere else on earth. Sanchez 's labelling her town hall meeting as a "prayer vigil" has got to be the most hateful use of the liberal label-warfare system I've seen in a long time (and that's saying something).
Not to mention the fact that she should be protested over using her governmental power to force a religious event in combination with her governmental responsibilities (something I'm sure she would herself protest if it was done by a conservative).

Town hall meetings are one of my favorite ways to communicate with constituents. I have held hundreds during my years of service in Congress and always welcomed everyone to attend. Unfortunately, due to a coordinated effort to disrupt our town hall meetings, we will be restricting further attendance to residents of the 29th Congressional District and verifying residency by requiring photo identification. Whether individuals agree or disagree, we must maintain order to have a civil discussion of the issues. While I regret this restriction, it is necessary for the safety and consideration of our constituents. Those who do not reside in the 29th Congressional should contact their Member of Congress to voice any concerns that they may have on issues before Congress.

He opposed efforts to verify that persons VOTING in the 29th Congressional district ACTUALLY LIVED THERE.
Damned hypocrite. Then again, he IS a Democrat.
fake protesters,
fake letters to the editor,
trolls who pretend to be conservatives to discredit us...
so this "meeting" was a set-up and a lie ???-
is anyone really surprised?
So do their voters.
marking
“Papers please”
Not according to Hillery!!! Hah!
“Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.) took a different tack: She framed an Aug. 2 town hall as a prayer vigil,
So now the liberals believe in prayer?
To whom, I wonder?
(sorry, Father, I am judging, yes.)
The news needs to be made outside these meetings.
