Eric Cantor's staff try to intimidate one of Eric's constituents. The guy, who must have been his chief of staff just appeared literally almost right on top of me, you can tell how shocked I was when I turn the camera on him. He was really trying to use his considerable girth to crowd me out. I thought he was Secret Service, there for John McCain's fundraiser in Richmond, Virginia as my hand began to shake with the prospect of going to jail. He noticed this and tried to mock me. The guy kept asking me for my name then one of McCain's people tried to use her "power" to get my name as well. The MSM was there asking Cantor softball questions. I asked Cantor if he supported a preemptive strike on Iran. Eventually, some hotel security goon escorted me to the restuarant as I told him I wish to dine there.(I didn't, I would never eat in a restaurant whose kitchen had rats) The ordeal was most hilarious, you can hear me laughing throughout. I was ejected from the Richmond Omni hotel, which by the way is a real shit hole.

7. Got it, I knew I wasn't gonna get any where near McCain
I, in fact, only got one picture of him leaving in his, no lie 20 car motoracade. My friend actually remained in the lobby. Once I got kicked out, hotel security, cops and S.S. were focused on me. McCain didn't come through the lobby but all these other grovelling Virginia politicians were there. She got some footage of Gilmore(she didn't confront him) but she doesn't think it's of any value. I told her it is, because the MSM will only play a sound bite of his stuff, while if my friend wanted to, she could put the whole thing up on Youtube.

8. We need to defeat this guy
I think we finally have a candidate in the 7th district to defeat this arrogant idiot. Here he is talking about runaway spending in DC like he isn't part of the problem. In a year when we can pin the economy, the health care system and the war in Iraq on the republicans we need to support Anita Hartke http://www.hartkeforcongress.com/ for congress.

I commend you for getting all this on tape and on the net.
