“I hope Cuomo feels pressured enough to pay attention.”
He doesn’t.
No more so than Obama feels any “pressure” to pay attention to YOU.
“Too many of these arrogant pols deliberately isolate themselves so they can pretend not to know that they’re riding roughshod over the wishes of their constituents.”
They don’t care.
They don’t serve “their consituents” any more.
There are more important considerations...
Your sentiment is almost as if it came from my keyboard.
Cuomo wasn’t there that day because the unions demanded his presence down on Long Island. They just got wind of what the budget looks like to them. They are *pissed* !
I’m really glad to see what happened there. The SEIU trip was cancelled because the office couldn’t reserve the buses. That’s about all I know. I would like to think our efforts of phone bombing them worked (!) I have confirmation of about 15 of us just calling and harassing them. Ordering pizzas, apologizing for wrong numbers, sitting quietly, or “Cleaning lady” calls (From Family Guy, I imagine those calls were pretty funny).
There are a ton more of these union-organized counter protests coming. Keep your eyes open, everyone - And if you see something out there post it up on FR. Free Republic responds to the threat.
Now, as a bit of insider news (I don’t want to hijack the thread) the Unions are in a PANIC right now. So enjoy this moment too.
