It was enjoyable, perhaps the best thing was watching the lefties try to get away with disrupting and wanting to take over the meeting. Unfortunately for them, there were too many of us. I loved the impeach Bambi sign the guy was holding up when we left the parking lot.

1st District report. (Dan Benishek)

Good report, Lakeshark.

[Darren McCarty]

Stay on him. Benishek’s a good guy but gets a lot of pressure from establishment to toe the line because he’s in a tough district.

Thanks for the FReport, Lakeshark.

It’s always good to get real information from real people [and not what the left-media wants us to hear.]

Thanks for posting ;)

We planned to attend but got side-tracked in Esky. Appreciate the report as fellow TEA party members have real concerns about Dr. Ben.

This is very similar to our townhall last might with Rob Woodall. People were pretty riled up about the coming CR vote and Obamacare, Immigration and Benghazi. We had a few libtarId loons that showed up to support Obamacare.

Our rep is a decent, standup guy and almost always votes the right way but he is no rabble rouser and our district keeps trying to get him to fire it up a little more. That is just not his style. But unlike a lot of these guys he showed up and took the heat. It did get a little heated from time to time.

Thanks for the report. Benishek had a close election in ‘12 winning by less than 2,000 votes. Sometimes Libertarian and Green Party candidates help our side.

Dan Benishek (R) 48.1% 167,060

Gary McDowell (D) 47.6% 165,179

Emily Salvette (Lib.) 3.1% 10,630

Ellis Boal (Green) 1.2% 4,168

Oh, and nice that he held one. Been a real dearth of meetings this summer. Seems many of our elected representatives don’t want to hear from their constituents.
