Even if the “organizers” go in early to “set up,” this rule can still be used against them. Even the Purple Shirts need to exit sometime, and folks with video cameras can be waiting. When they exit, folks can video while they ask the “organizers” to show their photo IDs. When they refuse to do so, that refusal can be shown all over the net the next day.

Our goal is to win the hearts and minds of the American public. They may run their staged meetings, but if everyone knows they’re staged, the meetings will do more harm than good for the rats.

Use their own rules against them.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if Alinsky helped us take this republic back?

Dennis Moore (D, 3rd, Ks) wasn’t going to hold any townhalls either,

but got an “excuse” yesterday when an angry constituent called his office.

Reportedly, the caller “raised his voice” and was “very critical of Moore” and “mentioned health care reform” but never threatened Moore or his staff.

This was Moore’s excuse to cry for the safety of his staff and his constituents and not hold any town halls.

Sounds like Dennis needs to find his dry big boy pants.

“Quick, somebody call the ACLU, she’s not separating church and state.”

I believe jail is the appropriate remedy for this offense against The Leader and his State.

“Aside from that, however, the questions were rather tame and besides Obama’s gaffe inadvertently conceding that private companies like FedEx and UPS do a better job of shipping packages than the government-controlled Postal Service (effectively undermining his entire point), the conference was rather bland and uneventful.”

He intentionally put this in the public record to cover his behind when/if the health care bill is passed and when it becomes a huge failure. He’ll simply bring this up as something he is on record saying and everyone in the MSM will go with him on it. Someone needs to record that this was in fact a slip up and he personally believes the government can do a better job than private industry.

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.

That won't fly...since he is holding it in a PUBLIC LIBRARY....

This will keep out the bussed in purple shirted thugs and other DNC goons

Not at all, they will be let in a side door with no ID check required.

His other two arranged “Town Halls” will equally be Socialist Union Mobster Goon Bundestag rallies.

“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.
++++++++++++++

Let’s take the protests to their offices - let’s publicly invite them, in our own press conferences...as someone suggested yesterday, we’ll have town halls - and invite our opposition.

Let’s have a true debate?!

Who is scared of the facts?

We KNOW the answer to that.

It started when they wouldn’t give us enough time to read the bill.

Then it proceeded to untoward pressure to pass the monster out of the House by end of July.

Then it continues with the cowards not allowing people to speak out at the town halls. [they don’t have the answers.]

People are growing more and more aware of this despite the despotic cover-up and Orwellian tactics of the Socialists!

So dissent and debate = bad behavior.

Dissent and debate not allowed at last night’s farce of a town meeting - despite the pres__ent’s lies to the contrary in advance. This pres__ent’s words have NO VALUE...from the moment they leave his tongue.

HYPOCRITE can’t be used too many times, or too strongly with these socialists.

A Republican commits a gaffe when he mispronounces a word. A Democrat commits a gaffe when he tells the truth.
