Demonstration at Sen McConnell's office. In an act of bravery, they locked their

[alfredo]

doors, kicked us out of the building and called the cops on us. Rand Paul's office is across the hall. It was locked too.
BTW, their offices are at 771 Corporate Dr in Lexington, Ky.

Here are the dangerous criminals that terrified them.







After we got kicked out
















Peace officers arrive to subdue the rowdy thugs.


Terrifying, isn't she.


Don, always the helpful one, brought some prunes for Mitch McConnell. I guess to help things move along.

[MineralMan]

1. Very nice! Great job!

4. Somebody -- CALL OUT THE NATIONAL GUARD! QUICK!!!!!!!!111

[gratuitous]

5. TERRORISTS!

True patriots don't use correct spelling. Also, if these had been Tea Baggers, there would have been billboarded wall-to-wall coverage in the local media.

He's taken in over forty special needs foster children.

He was also a prisoner of conscience back during the Vietnam war.

They are real patriots and deserve to be heard!

[ReadTomPaine]

14. K&R

[mysuzuki2]

[mysuzuki2]

84. yup. I was listening to the game last night while on DU.

there's a few of us Sox fans here in Milwaukee.

[damntexdem]

17. Ooh, they sure look like dangerous terrorists to me:

1. carrying signs held up by big, dangerous sticks (well, some of the signs);
2. smiles on their facts (who knows what twisted plots lie behind those smiles?);
3. wanting to talk and otherwise spread their ideas, rather than listening to those who know better;
4. appearing in numerous places (isn't that stalking?); and worst of all
5. one of them is proffering a substance known to influence the human GI tract (doesn't that qualify as a weapon of minimal distraction?).

Yeah, turn Hoaxland Security loose on those terrorists!

;-)

[alfredo]

27. At Least Ben Chandler will speak with his constituents, but

High and Mighty Mitch, is so above us.

Chandler is a blue dog, but I can set that aside because I genuinely like the guy. He still has that child-like enthusiasm.

[Vinca]

18. The guy with the trach looks especially threatening.

:banghead:

[alfredo]

21. It shoots Laser beams. Actually, he's a gentle soul.

[GoCubsGo]

80. It was his shirt.

Now, THAT was scary! ;-)

More power to him and the others.

[JohnnyLib2]

19. Bravo! And the heat index was around 100, right?

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[alfredo]

22. Hated that they made us leave their AC. There were plenty

trees, and a gentle breeze, so we could get some relief. We got a lot of smiles and encouragement from those who passed by.

[barbtries]

20. thank you for representing

so much better than the "representatives" do. those bastards.

[alfredo]

23. TKS. It's our duty to make the comfortable uncomfortable.

[malaise]

24. Fabulous

Just curious, so as to prep for answers or actions in the future. ;)

Good work, btw.

[alfredo]

29. I didn't hear them, but it appeared amiable.

[williesgirl]

31. OMG imagine if one were black or latino? They'd have called SWAT!

[alfredo]

40. Worse, Quakers. We have a lot of active Quakers and

Mennonites. They can be counted on to side with the compassionate.

[badhair77]

32. excellent!

[Jim_Shorts]

33. Real Americans - A tip of the hat

Aren't our representatives brave souls?

[R. P. McMurphy]

[inna]

[Lifelong Protester]

43. Love you brave folks!

DITCH MITCH (favorite KY bumper sticker)

[alfredo]

44. His filibuster stunt tonight was so uncalled for.

[riderinthestorm]

45. The woman with the floppy hat, "terrifying isn't she?" has her dsgusted "mom" face on!

I love it! Mitch McConnell SHOULD be terrified of that face! It's no-nonsense time.

Great job and thanks for posting!

[gateley]

46. Send this to KO, Rachel, Ed, Lawrence - have them make a laughing

stock out of McConnell on national TV.

[Kalidurga]

47. What were they afraid of....

that they would be group hugged to death???

[gateley]

59. I know, right? They even came bearing gifts - who wouldn't

love some prunes? :7

Welcome to DU, Kalidurga!

(I love your username!)

[alfredo]

60. Mitch's gang fears reality.

[Firebrand Gary]

48. Way to go gang!

Loving it.

[Mimosa]

49. K&Ring my fave OP of the last few months1

Great Americans! :D

[Veracious]

KnR :patriot: :kick:

[Chorophyll]

56. The guy with the prunes has made my day, and it's still early!

Great pictures! Thank you! :yourock:

[alfredo]

61. Once you reach our age, prunes are among the few things that can make

Your day.

[Chorophyll]

99. Hahaha.

Hey, making your day is important at any age. ;)

[DirkGently]

62. Well done. And nice pics. ++

[William769]

63. K&R.

[Chimichurri]

64. That's a scary bunch. The lady in the hat is menacing.

[DFW]

65. They would have preferred facing the Taliban

You guys vote. That, to them, is scarier.

[alfredo]

67. We want McConnell exposed as the corporate shill he is.

[DFW]

79. I've already expopsed him for who he is:

[alfredo]

100. I have an image of a giant tortoise image and some Mitch

images, but I also have a few hundred photos I am still looking through and editing.

[southernyankeebelle]

66. Way to go people. We need to do this all over the country.

[julian09]

72. I like the idea of confronting the leadership in their own districts

showing the reality and sentiment in the real world of the people they represent.
McConnell doesn't want to negotiate with Reed and insists on filibuster, he doesn't believe in majority rule, just obstruction of the peoples will. His mission in his own words is to make Obama a one term president.

It made me proud to see people actually demonstrate how they feel about issues, not paid bused in demonstrators, with guns, lies, and divisive signs.
Keep it up, keep it clean and good luck, remember the Gop agenda next election and vote accordingly.:yourock: :fistbump: :grouphug:

[femrap]

68. K and R

Go get 'em! I wondered how long it would be before KY people hit the streets.

[julian09]

76. KY people

aren't going to lay down and take it anymore, they will castrate Tea Party.
Tell de balled McConnell get out from under his desk and negotiate with former boxer Sen Reed, while Reed is still pulling his punches.

[femrap]

89. I couldn't believe KY

elected Rand. Of course, the same thing happened up here in OH...turned completely RED on state-held offices.

Dems just didn't get out and vote in 2010.

I lived in Lexington for a few years....loved it. Beautiful countryside.

[alfredo]

101. Conway blew it with the Aqua Buddha ad. It backfired on him.

Also CrossroadsGPS pumped a bunch of money into supporting Randy.

[harun]

70. Very nice, and good pictures!

[ThoughtCriminal]

71. Brave Sir Robin ran away!

Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!

[bigwillq]

73. Great pics!

Great job! K and R :bounce: :thumbsup:

[julian09]

85. Liked sign,"tax job creators" should have read

"tax foreign job creators" "tax un taxpaying corps"

Companies that offshore jobs, hurt local tax base making local and state taxes go up.
They hurt Fed tax collection and payroll taxes for SOC and Medicare; contributing to deficit.:fistbump: :applause: :woohoo:

[Plucketeer]

74. Poor, cowering Bi..... er, Mitch.

Run him and Rand outta town on a rail! :puke:

[avebury]

75. K&R

[socialist_n_TN]

78. Scary bunch of Reds there.........

(For the sarcasm challenged, this was :sarcasm:)

[GoCubsGo]

81. Well, one WAS wearing a REDS cap.

;-) See the one on the far right:

[socialist_n_TN]

82. OOOH! MORE proof........

Yep, more :sarcasm:.

[lonestarnot]

83. The fucking prunes for McConnell was a great idea!

Well done!

[SoapBox]

86. BRAVO to these brave Americans!

...very brave...as they DARE to speak up against The Party of Bully and Thug!

[Ilsa]

87. Rowdy mob armed with posters and prunes.

So what did the cops say? They couldn't make you leave, could they?

Thank you for a Most Excellent Protest!! Bravo!

[texshelters]

88. McConnell hasn't failted

he's gotten exactly what he wants, a shut down and ruined economy.

Thanks for your work destroying America McConnell.

Peace,
Tex Shelters

[Jefferson23]

90. These pics leave a lump in your throat.. I am also embarrassed for the U.S.

K&R

:kick:

[geckosfeet]

91. Love you all - 'in an act of bravery they locked their doors' says it all doesn't it?

That is classic - should be worked into the dems campaign themes.

[NICO9000]

92. What are turtleface and randyboy so afraid of?

[woo me with science]

93. Thank you. K&R.

[paparush]

95. PRUNES! Is there anything they can't do?

[alfredo]

105. Yes. They can't make McConnell listen to the poor and middle class.

[jillan]

96. Beautiful! Huge K & R!

[Zookeeper]

97. They called the cops on you???

'Not big believers in free speech, I guess.

[crazyjoe]

98. why didn't they cover this in the MSM ? Was there a meet and greet after?

[alfredo]

102. The media heard that someone heard the sound of a basketball being

Dribbled and had to investigate. This is Kentucky, and basketball is all that matters.

[Le Taz Hot]

103. Look at all those "sellout Boomer" faces . . .

there, in the sun, with their signs, protesting. Activism never stops.

[alfredo]

104. It was hot and humid that day, but everyone kept their cool.
