And I mean bussing in people from the district which the Town meeting is meant to address. Maybe we're above that stuff or we think we are. Time to fight fire wih fire.

1. I emailed my Republican Congresswoman
About ten days ago asking her when she is going to have a town hall in my area. I am still waiting for the answer. I have seen nothing from her.

2. Remember when protesters would get arrested at Bush campaign rallies?
People who just carried signs or wore buttons in protest of Bush got carted off by the cops.

Then there were the loyalty oaths the Repukes made people sign if they wanted to attend the campaign rallies.

Now, the Repukes are behaving worse than our people who got arrested, only the Repukes get away with bringing public forums to a halt, time and time again.

We really need to get organized.

3. Hi. I love your name! I'm a Jane for real. We do need to grow some balls and
get on this problem.

4. I figure it would be very easy to play on their paranoia...
... at the forums, we could simply begin snapping photos of them, jotting notes in little notebooks while observing them, staring at them while whispering into cell phones, recording their license plate numbers as they're returning to their cars... they'll probably figure Obama sent out his Kenyan Muslim Socialist Granny Killers to spy on them!

By the way, Jane is a good name, although I'm not Jane for real.

7. The size of the camera is directly proportional to the amount of paranoia
I speak from experience at the Teabagger parties (which I still have photos of for anyone who's interested) that when the Pukes see a big honkin' camera and lens with a massive flash on top, they don't want to be seen.

I hope they have a town hall here....

6. that's a lesson we should have learned in 00.
they are carrying out their learning curve -- we're still too afraid they'll call us 'liberal'.
