Honestly, I think that mindless mantra chanter’s of any political persuasion should be absolutely kicked out of meetings. Keep that crap out on the streets as it is not helping, and it is only giving them reason to have disruptive people removed from the meeting. Don’t bring bibles, protest signs etc. in the meeting with you. If they think you are one of them, they are less likely to block you from entering. Use some damn common sense.

It is better to surprise them and focus on asking political Congress-critters tough questions. Get them off guard and hold their feet to the fire when they try to duck answering, or speak meaningless drivel. have follow-up questions to hit them to make them clarify. Have the facts with you, including contradictory commentary, voting records and past promises they have broken. Be prepared also to dispute the “talking points” with facts. If someone else asks your question, support them, and if the politician gives a non-answer, be ready to ask again in a way to bypass the BS.

If you do come with a group, disperse at least into twos, and try to have someone bring an inexpensive video camera.

Missy, I don’t see it as patriotic or not, it just is. Like I said both sides try that game all the time and it is bs.

Heavy, heavy stuff you found. Let’s see, how does candidate Obama, and later President Obama, of the United States of America play his “patriotism card?”

Bitter clingers

Cambridge police officers acted “stupidly”

They bring a knife, we bring a gun

get in their face

I won

Is the practice of dividing the citizens of the country you are responsible to govern as a whole…..patriotic?

Curt: “Can you give examples of what you refer to as “patriotism card” by “politicians on the right”?”

Sarah Palin (R) with her “real Americans” comment, (fortunately she too apologized like Sen Lincoln)

Rep Michele Bachmann (R) when she questioned (candidate) Obama’s patriotism and then launched into her invective recommending that the news media investigate whether other members of Congress are “pro-America” or “anti-America.”

Rep. Robin Hayes (R) “liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in God.”

I would believe each of those individuals would be considered on the right…

Now the DNC is deploying AFL-CIO palookas while hypocritically dismissing Obamacare opponents as paid shills -even running disengenuous TV ads to slander them- meanwhile SanFranNan is halucinating and seeing imaginary Swastikas.

This should make clear to anyone just what these far-left elitists think of your opinion.

Note that whenever Obama, Emanuel, or Gibbs are asked about why polls show SO many people oppose their misguided Cap-n-Trade and Obamacare proposals, they ALWAYS segue-right-into “we need to educate the public…”.

LOL- save your breath… Constitutionally-aware patriots don’t take lectures from Marxists.

Look for the union label, throw, er drop it in the floor and step on it. Never, never will I buy another vehicle connected with union workers. Two Fords in the driveway will be traded for Toyota’s when trading time comes. Fact I should/may trade the old full size Bronco (worn/rusted out) and take advantage of the $4500. Maybe part of the money will come from the few, very few, democrats who work and pay taxes. Be nice to let them pay for part of a new foreign named truck.

What the SEIU is doing is tandamount to the Union breaking thugs that were employed in the 20′s and 30′s to break up workers trying to organize. It didn’t work then and it won’t work now, so if they want to try and rough people up then better organization on our part to have enough people to protect our friends and families may be needed. I would think most of us with ex military and private defense training won’t have to worry about defending our selves. But if I was present when someone bum rushed a person handing out flyers, that person would have my help in an instant.
