He wasn’t around for 4th of July. Saint Rocco is this weekend. Let’s see if he shows up. Nothing in the Malden newspapers about him either.

I live in the district of this miserable “representative”. He should take cap-and-tax and put it ...

Maybe he could have brothers Richard and John take his place like they did at simultaneous Stand Outs, earning him the moniker Fast Ed.

No he is not having any public forum type meetings. I called his office last week and finally received an answer after speaking with three people. Clueless staff.

Kennedy and Kerry are IN HIDING from the public as well. No public meetings. They will have closed door meeting with special interest groups!!! Some MA Freepers may visit Markey, Kennedy and Kerry's offices on August 22, 2009 at 12:00noon. Not sure how many and the plan.

The closest potential meeting ,aybe in New Hampshire. Obama announced plans to come to New Hampshire, August 11th. I bet Markey, Kerry, and perhaps Kennedy will be there...who knows. Here is the link below about Obama's visit so far.

I live around the corner from him. There’s a HUMMER Limo parked in front. That’s great irony.

Is it worth trying to influence our “representative” and our Senators? Might as well talk to a brick wall. It seems to me that the most effective political activism for MA Freepers may be to contibute money to important out-of-state races, like Toomey-Specter.

Being cynical, maybe we should call them and demand that they not make any compromises with the Blue Dog Democrats. They should hold out for a “public option”, new income taxes, and taxes on health insurance. Then the Dem and Republican moderates might feel forced to vote “no”.

If they cancel the townhalls,, then organize and show up at their offices.

This is not about Health Care, it is about control, and has been from the start.

We must take the fight to them in their townhalls, or any other venue we can (mail, email, phone, fax, forums,their office, etc.). Hammer them mercilessly with factual data and do not take no for an answer. These reps need to fear the voters, their constiutents, for their political lives more than they fear Pelosi, Reed, or Obama.

Here is a link to the full House Democrat Health Care Plan in PDF. In Section 1233 E & F, pages 426-433, you find the part about mandatory end-of-life counseling for anyone over 65 years of age. Section 152 Page 50: All healthcare services will be provided without regard to "personal characteristcs" which is not defined within the document but is understood to include immigration status.

Section 224 b Page 125: The Secretary shall design and implement the payment mechanisms and policies under this section in a manner that — (1) seeks to (B) reduce health disparities (including racial, ethnic and other disparities).

A lot more provisions now being documented at that site.

Donwload it, read it, study it, then hammer your reps over it and pass it on to all you know asking them to do the same.

Also, here's a large image of the Democratic (Obama) Health Plan chart-another Obama empty promise. This is the one the House democrats are censuring. Email these links or the image to everyone you know.

Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.

You spelled his name wrong. It’s actually ‘Malarkey’. Derived from the Greek for “Bad Government”.
