Politico/The Lid ^ | 10/5/09 | The Lid

[Shellybenoit]

Michelle Bachman said that their would be days like this. Early reports are that thousands of protesters have shown up at the US Capitol today to push home the point that they do NOT want Obamacare.

One Senator, Michael Bennet (D) of Colorado was not to happy to see his constituents. They showed up at his Hart Office building office asking to meet with the Senator in his Hart Senate Office building. Instead of a meeting with the Senator, they got a meeting with the Capitol Police The protesters were arrested about 10 a.m. were charged with unlawful entry, a Capitol Police spokeswoman said.

Looks as if the Democrats are following the Presidents advice regarding blocking Dissent:

[SueRae]

If true, I suppose we are now in solidarity with Iranian dissidents and any other country whose citizens are rising up against totalitarian rule.

[Mercat]

AWESOME

[joinedafterattack]

It’s Iran all over again.

[RowdyFFC]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???

This is treason against Americans!

[Chattering Class of 58]

For Halloween I was an Infidel. Now it seems I’m also a dissident.

[dawn53]

AWESOME

I agree. Peaceful protest, and publicity from arrests helped the Civil Rights Movement. "Letter from the Birmingham Jail" is a masterpiece of logic and a road map for peaceful protest bringing about change.

[EggsAckley]

Um, whoever wrote that needs some spelling lessons.

JMHO

[crusty old prospector]

I guess they didn’t have a hall pass.

[dr_who]

The activists who risk arrest supposedly clamoring for peace social justice, when they get in power this is what they do. They show their true colors.

[subterfuge]

More Accurate Title: DEMOCRATS HAVING OWN CONSTITUENTS ARRESTED FOR BELIEFS!!!

Next it will be: DEMOCRAT CONGRESS DEMANDS CONCENTRATION CAMPS BE UTILIZED FOR THEIR CONSTITUENTS!!!

A third of the electorate will think thats a great idea.

[Sir Gawain]

Cool. Another “don’t forget to buy more ammo” story.

Thanks for the reminder!

[La Lydia]

This ought to earn Bennett some points in his effort to get elected in Colorado (he was appointed to replace Tonto Salazar). /sarc

[clove]

And now this is how it will start......It must result in FREEDOM!

[subterfuge]

Please explain that post. Exactly what are their “True Colors” liberal?

[A CA Guy]

Yeah, Democrats are becoming Iranian government officials.

BIG MISTAKE!

That will really raise the IRE of the constituent's. Rightly so.

When citizens are arrested for attempting to meet their Senator peaceably ... Goodbye Senator. No support on anything might well follow. Shunning by his own state and others as well.

GOOD IDEA!

Here is Mr. Bennet’s contact page.

Have fun, but keep it professional and polite- but remind him who he works for.

Liberty Box #3 is now open. Is box #4 on the horizon?

[SkyDancer]

Democrats should be aware of 2010 - it’s going to be pink slip time ...

[justlurking]

The protesters were arrested about 10 a.m. were charged with unlawful entry, a Capitol Police spokeswoman said.

This could get interesting. I suspect it was more than just asking to meet with their Senator. If they were asked to leave, and refused -- then they could be charged.

Of course, the question is why they were asked to leave. If they weren't being disruptive, there's no grounds to do so.

[SMARTY]

“Unlawful entry” ?? Can we know what constitutes unlawful entry on the property belonging to and paid for by the taxpayers and voters of the United States of America?

One person called into a local radio talk show from the Capital at 11:30am EST and reported 6,000 with many more streaming in from all sides.

[clove]

Well the WH wanted a revolution....be careful what you wish for....especially if you are clueless to whom you are awakening!!

[relictele]

Michael Bennet (D) of Colorado was not to happy to see his constituents

He looked for the union label and didn't find one....

[DogBarkTree]

[thefactor]

when you are told not to go somewhere and you go there. or when you are told to leave somewhere and you do not leave. it's trespass by another name.

it's federal property so it might be easier to arrest.

[pallis]

“Get these peons out of here.” “Who the hell do they think I am?” “For God sakes, I’m a Senator.” These and other similar quotes could be heard echoing around the emptying, hallowed, hollow halls of post-American power.

[kevao]

Don’t send him an email; you might get arrested for harassment. LOL.

It's not quite the same, without the shrill, shrieking tone it was originally delivered in.

There goes your right to petition and freedom of speech...

It was kinda nice while it lasted.

Civil rights class action for First Amendment violation.

[jacknhoo]

Forcefully silencing dissent...it’s a Democratic (socialist) Party thing.

[sticker]

“Yeah, Democrats are becoming Iranian government officials. “

The iranians are more pro-American than democRATs

[mnehring]

I just read that one of the people arrested was a 70 or 75 year old senior citizen woman.

We need to find out who she is and get her face all over the media.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

But when a bunch of democrat thugs “show up” at a normal person’s home, and harass him, the police just never seem to show up.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Presumably, you can’t walk onto the floor of the House or Senate or get up and sit in the chair of a Supreme Court Justice, or just walk in the front door of the White House and demand to be taken to the Oval Office or waltz into a nuclear missile base and push the button.

Public property does not imply unrestricted public access.

[greatplains]

Would like to know the details; hopefully available soon.

[clove]

public access This is what is being disputed and what they may be doing is unconstitutional.....will we see justice?

[gunner03]

Show me anywhere in the Constitution where the Feds own any property. They are renters of buildings that are OWNED by the people of this Nation.

[Dead Corpse]

Areas open to the public are open to... well... the Public.

Sorry if this disturbs you, but I'm sure you will get over it.

[kcvl]

The Colorado Republican Party believes that the Democrat election losses in the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial races should make Sen. Michael Bennet and Gov. Bill Ritter, both Democrats, very worried about holding onto their seats next year.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I don’t think you can “barge into” a Senator’s office or create a disturbance anywhere in the Capitol Building. Of course, barging in and creatign a disturbance are often in the eye of the beholder.
