		<description>After Inslee phoned it in the other night, I suggested that we hold our own local town hall with a &quot;stand-in Inslee&quot;.

The actor would be instructed to act all concerned, and to read his talking points while carefully explaining how this was something that must be acted upon right now!

Our town hall however would allow questions about freedom of choice, health savings accounts,catastrophic coverage, and all the actual solutions that would bring real reform without dumping the whole system on it&#039;s head!

The &quot;stand-in&quot; would get an actual sense of how people are not in anyway in favor of Obamacare.

These evaders are all going back to DC in a few weeks and going to say that health care the Obama way is good to go. No real resistance to it back home!

When they can&#039;t shape the perception of reality , they just avoid it altogether!

These super-chickens are running our country, we are in trouble!

Inslee is big into the Apollo Socialism Cabal and his vote for Obama is a sure bet.  

Pink slip needed!</description>

		<description>Doesn&#039;t Alinsky recommend the use of ridicule as the strongest tactic in &quot;positioning&quot; and ultimately defeating your opponent? These Congress critters are doing it to themselves. Any reason not to help them?

In the recall of Gray Davis as California Governor, ridicule played a major role in locking in his image as a buffoon and captive of the state unions.

Create &quot;citizen town hall meetings&quot; on the sidewalk outside their local offices. Place a cardboard cutout of your &quot;representative&quot; in a chair. Talk to it and play back their recorded comments mouthing Pelosi&#039;s / Reid&#039;s / Obama&#039;s disinformation. Ask the toughest questions you can and turn the mic over to the cutout for response. Refer to specific pages in the bill that are outrageous. This will show that at least &lt;b&gt;someone&lt;/b&gt; has read the bill, and provide more accurate information for others who ooppose this travesty.

Take video and snapshots and keep them handy for 2010. THERE IS &lt;b&gt;NO EXCUSE&lt;/b&gt; FOR OUR REPRESENTATIVES TO HIDE FROM US!</description>

		<description>Jim Matheson is my congresscritter and he&#039;s not having town halls this summer. I get the impression he just doesn&#039;t have time to hear what the great unwashed masses have to say.

I think he&#039;s just plain yella, but I&#039;m a hick housewife, so what do I know?

His staffer invited me to sign up for his newsletter and take the polls in them.  I&#039;ve only seen one poll.  It was about heathcare and asked all kinds of questions about the particulars of govt-run-heathcare.  Oddly enough, there wasn&#039;t ONE opportunity to answer this question:  are you for or against government-run heathcare.

The staffer was very rude to me, continually telling me &quot;you&#039;re not listening to me,&quot; and &quot;congressman M&#039;s position is,&quot; going so far as to say, &quot;you people are always mischaracterizing us Democrats,&quot; before he hung up on me.  

Funny, I thought it was Matheson&#039;s job to listen to me and to find out what MY position is.

I guess the meaning of the word &quot;representative&quot; is lost on some of these guys.</description>

		<description>good idea rags.  if they can&#039;t answer questions from their constituents, aren&#039;t they merely empty suit puppets anyway?  funny how through the first week of this mob activity there were no arrests, no assaults, no one going to the hospital, just citizens voicing their concerns, sometimes loudly.  but the day prez allah (bbuh) calls out the gestapo, we have fights, assaults, intimidations and shoving, blocking the meeting doors with thugs, etc.  hmmmm, this is my america in the age of prez allah (bbuh).</description>

		<description>The crazy thing about all of this is that if the representatives really did listen and engage their constituents in an intelligent conversation, none of this would be happening. Instead, they try to peddle the bamsters dishonest talking points and the people know they&#039;re just lies.</description>

		<description>Democrat Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD, District 1) scrubbed his website of his complete townhall schedule within the last two days.

Like a groundhog, he&#039;s gone underground until his adversaries pass by. When will he stick his head up, again?</description>
