Friday, May 12, I with about a dozen others in the Minuteman Project Caravan to Washington D.C. visited the offices of Senators offices on both sides of the 'Amnesty' issue. We first stopped by the office of Senator Jeff Sessions and expressed our GREAT APPRECIATION for his heroic fight against the Leftists and the compromised 'Conservatives' in the Senate. His staff was very pleased to host our group.
Then, we went to some that were not exactly heroes, at least not lately. As a group or individually, I also visited the offices of Frist, Feinstein, Brownback and a number of others.
I had the audacity to write in Senator Chuck Hagel's public Guest Book a written demand that he enforce the law and uphold the Constitution. Anyone who can verify my May 12 entry there--as a taxpayer very appropriately utilizing taxpayer-purchased materials--please feel free to do so. But I'll bet that particular book just winds up 'lost' or missing a page.
A photographer from The Washington Times was with us for the final several hundred miles along the Caravan. She photographed the Hagel guest book while we were in his office. I don't think the photo made it into print, however.
I made a similar entry in Senator John McCain's guest book that same day. Various members of the caravan were present. While I wrote, others politely but firmly insisted that Senator McCain uphold the U.S. Constitution. Although we were peaceful, the tall young man at the front desk probably pushed a hidden button, because without his phoning anyone, a dour, dark-haired woman looking to be in her 40s, with a silent man about the same age, came from behind varnished doors. She told us to leave immediately or we would be reported to the Capitol Police and arrested. Wow. So much for constituent free speech!
She had no name tag on. I asked her name but The Dour One refused to provide the information. I asked her title but she remained silent. If dirty looks could kill, there would have been a dozen Minuteman corpses! The silent man accompanying her seemed to be also mute--or ashamed of his name as well. We left. I WISH I had a photo of that, um, public servant. There was a private photo taken of the McCain guest book by our group; I hope to locate who took it.
The Dour One was not a junior aide, she was some sort of senior staffer for McCain. McCain would have wanted us treated exactly that way. Yes, constituents like us make it very inconvenient for humble public servants to arrogate their wishes upon a dumbed-down populace. And we intend to make it even harder for such dour parasitic lice as these to remain AS public servants.
People of Arizona, you need to send some people in for Sensitivity Training. Not as in sensitivity to my feelings. Sensitivity to what the whole McCain staff is going to need for their NEXT JOBS after we vote Treacherous Johnny out of office!
A recent FR poll asked whether I'd vote for McCain vs. Hillary for President. I didn't vote. I DO NOT TRUST THE MAN. And the way his staff treated us was exactly how I'd expect to be treated by a political enemy. I guess I am--because I expect anyone on a governmental payroll in the United States of America to be loyal to the U.S. Constitution, to say the Pledge of Allegiance and to defend this Country--not betray it. Mr. McCain, thanks for your past service, but you are now no friend of America, Sir.
Meanwhile, it is IMPERATIVE that true Conservatives not be dismayed or alienated from the GOP--we just need to weed out the untrustworthy RINOs and CINOs posing as Republicans. THAT is the solution, not being divided-and-conquered by Leftist friends like McCain!

Yes, let's trot out the vigilante charge. Why I haven't heard that since way back when the ACLU tried it.
Does vigilante mean annoy or disagree with policy? Maybe you want to look that up.
"And we intend to make it even harder for such dour parasitic lice as these to remain AS public servants."
Dour parasitic lice.
Great line.
Great post, thank you SofA.
I'm starting to think politicians think elections work backwards.
The way it should be: Politicians get elected, listen to the voice of their consitituents, act / vote accordingly.
The way it is: Politicians get elected, vote according to their own whim while assuming the constituents agree with them.
This is another example of why term limits are so necessary. The argument against them is "what about the great statesman that we would no longer be able to vote for?" Answer: Are there any politicians out there right now that inspire such loyalty that *ANYONE* would lose sleep over not being able to vote for them?
On the contrary, there are many, many politicians that have deserved to be thrown out for years. Where term limits would have done the job for us, we are still stuck listening to Kennedy et al...
The pols know they are essentially immune from reprocussions of their decisions, especially senators who are only up for election every 6 years.
Next time, Spirit, you should adopt the dress of an illegal alien, carry a "reconquista"/viva Aztlan sign, and loudly demand your "rights".
I'm sure you will be handed a cup of coffee, offered a photo-op with the the Senator, and invited to stay for lunch...
I'll believe that when we get rid of the two traitors we have in California, DiFi and Babs.
If thirteen people came to my office without an appointment, I'd usher them out too. It would have made more sense, and maybe more impact, for you all to have gone in one at a time.
Why hasn't anyone?
One would think that anyone simply opposing his immigration policies would easily win down there.
Then again, by 2010 it may be far too late. Is AZ one of those states where he has to relinquish his senate seat in order to run for pres.?
BUMP
Don't forget to speak properly, either. Make sure you speak McRino's language and say things like:
"Buenos dias. ¿Por qué usted nos llama los extranjeros ilegales? Ésta es nuestra tierra que usted robó de nosotros."
("Good morning. Why do you call us illegal aliens? This is our land which you stole from us.")
It has already been said.
BTTT
Why so coy? I repeat...If you have something to say about McCain's history as a prisoner of war, say it.
I never have liked McCain. I mean never.

I wish that we would have just ONE border state governor who would order out his own National Guard to stop the invasion, and then just ignore the howls of rage from the Mexicans or libs/lefties in this country. And most definitely just IGNORE any activist judge who would order him to cease & desist. Geez, I wish we had governors & politicians with balls!
Absolutely true. My biggest fear is we can't seem to find any strong, unapologetic, conservative and COMBATIVE Repub politician who will eagerly go on the offense instead of being like GW Bush and get pounded day & night with only an occasional rebuttal. By the way I am not an advocate of CINO GW Bush. I just wish that we could get a bona fide, legitimate conservative who doesn't give a rat's a$$ for political correctness and fires from both barrels. INCLUDING CLAMPING DOWN ON ILLEGAL ALIENS, SECURING THE BORDER AND DEPORTING THE ILLEGALS THROUGH EMPLOYER FINES & JAIL SENTENCES FOR HIRING THEM.
You have a fairly good reading of Gov Perry as far as I am Concerned. We are again faced with a Hobson's choice of lesser evils. You can only vote for best, when good isn't running.
