BARBARIANS AT THE GATE: TOWN HALLS UNDER SIEGE
Canada Free Press ^ | 02/25/17 | Jeff Crouere

Posted on 02/25/2017 7:47:22 AM PST by Sean_Anthony

As liberals are exposed in all their fury, more Americans will come to realize that the voters made the right decision in electing Donald Trump as our nation’s 45th President.

Across the country, angry mobs of protesters are flooding town hall meetings of GOP Senators and Representatives. The liberal media is enjoying the spectacle and emphasizing the supposed grassroots anger of average Americans.

Among many issues, the attendees have been screaming about Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and her reform agenda, phony “Russian” connections to the administration, efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare, plans to dismantle onerous EPA regulations and the administration’s directive to rescind Obama’s public school mandate to accommodate transgender students. As usual, the left cannot engage in a civil debate, so too many of these town hall protesters have made vile comments, threatened Republicans in attendance and tried to intimidate the GOP politicians hosting the meetings.

Republicans can either knuckle under to these freaks or do something like check ids at the door. Those who don’t live in the county cannot enter. Or enforce fire regulations. Better yet, appeal privately to Pres. Trump about it. I imagine he’d have a few tricks up his sleeve in dealing with Occupy Democrats.

The chaos of “Town Hall” meetings where professional posters and signs are popping up, a dead giveaway of paid agitators, could/should be eliminated.

Every elected official conducting “town hall” or community meetings should control who is allowed to enter by requiring photo ID (Driver License) giving the current address. If they claim they did not carry a photo ID, then ask them their current addy, after which you ask what zip code that address is in. Everyone knows their zip code. The zip code should be in the elected official’s district, which would be easily verified by those checking IDs for entry.

If the data of the person wanting entry does not match the accurate zip code, entry should be denied. No one, residing outside the respective zip code list of the official’s district, should be admitted to the meeting. This would eliminate outsider professional trouble makers.

Fake IDs could be detected, perhaps, by requiring persons to state their zip code while their IDs are in possession of the checkers. If people cannot correctly state their own zip code, they are phony residents.

Photo I’d needed to prove they are true constituents. Hire security to enforce it. It is entirely reasonable and will eliminate most of the thugs.

The quickest way to stop this childish behavior is to keep the liberal #fakenewsmedia out. If the fascist snowflakes find out they won’t be getting some TV mug time, they won’t bother to come out. One thing I’ve noticed at all these town hall riots is, a lot of the snowflakes raising hell are Bernie supporters. Hats, T-shirts, etc. Haven’t seen any Clintoonie, “I’m With Her” hats or T-shirts.

Be a good idea to have ICE there too, maybe some Pinkertons to break heads.

They never sleep.

Democrat Gene Green in Houston checks ID's at the door to be sure that attendees live in his district to keep Republicans out.

He's also against voter id....

I agree with the local I.D.-ing of participants. This would have to be done by Congressional District. The Congressman's office could issue cards to any verified resident of his district. Perhaps residents could apply online and print the "pass" or "ticket" out.

The document would be made valid for any of the Congressman's meetings in the district during his tenure.

The Congressman could then allow others apply according to need and approval.

Just because someone is able to tell you a zip code does not mean they reside in that district. I know several zip codes of places I send mail to frequently and yet I have never lived there. A more thorough way would be to have an original bill from the local energy company at a place of residence along with current ID. Then checked in a database. However even this is not 100% surety that the town hall participant resides at the place where they say they do.

Anything created by man can be subjected to the fraud of man.

I heard one lady at a town hall claiming Obamacare saved her life - was hoping the dude would ask her how it did better than what she had available to her before Obamacare, but he wasn’t bright enough to call her on it.

True, but the majority of people who are coming in from out of town won't know the local zip code. These aren't voting booths or anything major, it's just a small easy measure to help keep out some of the fake protestors.

Excellent idea! Basic common sense is too rare.

I wonder, also, if these rabble are so obnoxious at these venues in the Right to Carry states?

Just to show you how “grassroots” this thing is, here is a Republican town hall in Louisiana disrupted because of - wait for it - “separation of church and state” at the recitation of an opening prayer:

How many Republicans would scream at the name of Jesus Christ being mentioned in a prayer at a town hall? None, that’s how many.

Video all town hall events, from every possible angle. Run facial recognition software and identify everyone - especially the most vulgar and disruptive libtards. Then publish names, addresses, pictures and their best lines.
