THE SILENCE OF THE DEM TOWN HALLS

Summer is here. Despite the “climate change” causing amazingly cold weather during spring, warm weather has finally arrived. Americans know what that means! Baseball, barbeque and:

Town Hall Meetin’ and Greetin’ season

We can’t wait to tell our elected wonders what we think about their job performance.

That’s why I was shocked when I read a story on Drudge about the amount of Democratic wannabe and actual congressmen who are canceling this summer’s reality show: Politics Jerry Springer style.

After last year’s grilling by those wild Nazi Astroturfers (as Pelosi referred to them), evil mongers (as Harry Reid called them) or as the rest of the world witnessed, grannies and grandpas, here are this year’s meeting plans: Not so much.

Obama held a fundraiser with my congresscoward when he was in Michigan the other day and as far as I know it got barely a mention in the news.

Last year’s townhall meetings turned into a massive public-relations fiasco for the Democrats. Small wonder why they won’t do so many this year—especially with the Congressional elections coming up in November!

My congresscoward called off his town hall meetings last summer so we planned a protest. Then the SOB quietly invited “supporters” to meet with him an hour before the protest was due to start. The newspaper dutifully reported that he held a townhall meeting with avid supporters.

It took better than two weeks before the paper was forced to admit that the “supporters” were SEIU thugs bussed in from outside the district.

I received a canned call from my Congressman, Bill Foster, yesterday. He’s having “one-on-one” meetings this Saturday right in my home town. I’m sure he doesn’t want a meeting with a whole room of people. The meetings will be a total of one hour and a half. I wonder what his time limit is for each person.

The pols are scared stiff that a testy exchange with constituents will end up on YouTube, and get several million views. Heck, when Bwaney Fwank sneered at his Townhall constituents, the video landed on Larry King Live.

At Sheila Jackson Lee 's healthcare Townhall, she rudely talked on her cell phone instead of listening to her constituents.

"Make that three double pepperoni pizzas, four gallons of Pepsi,
and three loaves of garlic bread. And deliver it in 10 minutes, after
I get rid of these annoying constituents. I'm starved. "

Mmmmmm......I bet she clobbered the one who took that shot of her fat behind.

If you recall, the woman asking the question in the second photo turned out to be an Obama campaign worker from outside Jackson’s district.

Which is exactly why we need about 2000 more representatives. 700,000:1 is just not an acceptable ratio of Constituents to Representatives. Thirty Thousand.org wants to solve that problem.

Right. The imposter, Roxana Mayer, posing as a doctor, is a former Texas delegate for Obama, whose name is listed on Obama's campaign web page. Mayer doesn't even live in Jackson Lee's district. This should be reported to the FBI. If Roxana Mayer colluded with Jackson Lee to use a false identity, so as to flim-flam constituents, that could be actionable.

Jackson Lee embraces "doctor" Roxana Mayer, a "general practitioner for the last four years." Except of course she's a fake, an Obama plant. Mayer is a former Texas delegate for Obama, whose name is proudly listed on Obama's campaign web page. Mayer doesn't even live in Jackson Lee's district.

=======================================================

It appears Jackson Lee colluded to deceive constituents and facilitated ID theft. The FBI should interrogate Jackson Lee to determine if Roxana Mayer received anything of value to pull off the deception---money, jobs, political cover to facilitate the deception, and whether they colluded to misuse Congessional influence.

FBI TIP PAGE http://tips.fbi.gov/ (you may remain anonymous)

POSSIBLE CHARGES FACED BY JACKSON LEE Official acts prohibited, misuse of Congressional funds, abuse of public office, violating oath of office, misuse of government position, abuse of government power; conflict of interest; influence buying; conspiracy to deceive; misuse of elective office, collusion, conspiracy to collude.

Lee's official campaign finance records filed with the FEC, and state election commission, should be scrutinized for possible violations. Determine if names of Lee's contributors are legit and whether Lee illegally used campaign funds, and whether Lee received campaign contributions to influence Conressional votes.

Jackson Lee and Obama may have colluded with Mayer and agreed to give her something of value, a govt gratuity, a job, etc, in exchange for her impersonation.

Two GOP challengers that I know of are hitting hard on this as a campaign issue. They are Adam Kinzinger (IL-11) and Mike Fitzpatrick (PA-08). I hope there are more than just those two.

Fitzpatrick actually showed up with a bunch of his supporters at a “one-on-one” meeting the Democrat incumbent, Patrick Murphy was having. It got nasty. Here’s the youtube of it:
