I was called the other night by a recording of Senator Jean Shaheen (Socialist - NH), inviting me to "join her in a telephone townhall meeting" this evening (Thursday, August 6, 2009). I was told I could opt out by calling her Washington office.
I have noticed a flood of "telephone townhall meetings" by the RAT Party. They obviously have decided that this is a safe venue for them, where they can cut off anyone who dares to question the party line.
I called her office this morning to opt out of the telecon. I told her flunky that if she didn't have the courage and courtesey to face her constituents, she had nothing of value to say. I also told him that I didn't want my contact information forwarded to the White House "snitch" link. He claimed to know nothing about that program.
How do we fight the "telephone townhall" gambit?
We need to fight this bill at a POCKETBOOK LEVEL - show up with signs saying “if you pass this bill, we’ll opt out of the “public option for paying taxes” and go up your W2 form deductions so that the federal gov’t doesn’t steal any more of our money!
The commies in Germany during the Thirties had what they called the Red Five, Rote Fumph. Talk to five people and have them talk to five people if this passes we are all screwed.
