Freepers, other citizens storm Sen. Specter's Office on Porkulus

Written by Melanie Morgan   
Monday, 09 February 2009

Sen. Arlen Specter must feel like one lucky man today. He wasn’t in his Capitol Hill offices when MAF Chairman Melanie Morgan, Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee, Freepers and Free Republic founder Jim Robinson, and other patriotic citizens stormed his office to demand he reverse his position supporting the porkulus bill, aka the Barack-Blowing-Through- Dollars-Scheme.

MAF, as you know, is a protroops organization, and it is our opinion that this legislation will hurt veterans’ healthcare - not to mention every other American.

We’re really in town for our big press conference on Tuesday, when we release our commercial opposing President Obama’s decision to close Gitmo.

But we kept ourselves busy today. Melanie was at her finest, when we arrived at Specter’s office. For those of you who don’t know Specter, he’s a flip-flopping, spineless bureacrat who calls himself a Republican. He’s also one of the traitors who supports Obama’s spendulus bill. This is why he was a target for Monday’s action, spurred by Kirstinn Taylor of Free Republic.

Melanie and Jim Robinson asked to see the Senator. Specter’s front-office staff need to go back to kindergarten to get their manners tuned up. either that or they should go to work at Wal-Mart to pick up some tips from their greeters. A secretary, who wasn’t happy to see American patriots, refused to answer where the Senator was hiding. Jim, wearing his Navy cap, asked over and over about the Senator’s whereabouts, but the secretary wasn’t helping. It was distressing to see a Navy veteran being treated with such disrespect by a Senator’s staff.

Well, the cold-shoulder was too much for Melanie, who decided to take matters into her own hands. She stepped to the closed door leading to Specter’s office and the offices of his staffers, and flung it open. I didn’t take notes on what she said, but it went something like this:

“Come out! We want to talk to somebody right now!!”

The secretary didn’t like this. “You can’t go in there,” she warned Melanie, who promptly ignored her.

“Sombody come out here right now!!! We want to talk to you. Now!!!”

Specter’s chief of staff had finally had enough and came out to face the American citizens who wanted to redress their government official.

Melanie stepped toward him and unleashed a wave of complaints that hit him like a typhoon.

Again, I didn’t take notes, but it went something like this:

“Tell Specter to stop acting like a liberal. We are watching him and we’re not going to let him get away with this!”

Others had a few things to add to that. Debbie Lee introduced herself and handed the chief of staff a card with her son, Marc’s, picture on it. He was the first Navy SEAL to give his life in Iraq, she explained.

Liz Colby Harp brought her five homeschooled children so Specter could see whom he is saddling with trillions of dollars of debts. She was gracious, intelligent and dead on with her remarks.

Spectre was lightly buttered by Ingram, then filleted by Hannity today. Mmmm, delicious. Fried SPECTRE RINO steaks.

I wish I could have been there. What we need is for about 1000 people to go into the Senate building and start screaming at the tops of their lungs to KILL PORKULUS. This will scare the hell out of the senators who will no doubt call in the capitol police to try to throw them out. Us Tennessee horn honkers did it twice in Tennessee and turned away a “slam dunk” income tax. It is good for politicians to fear the people.

Specter is just another guy who underwent unsuccessful brain surgery.

Brain Surgery 101: In order to do successful brain surgery, the patient must first have a brain! So, as one can see, there could never have been a successful or unsuccessful brain surgery on Spectre (spelling on purpose) as he doesn't have a brain!

I share your sentiments. This is the bleakest prospect for the future of our country, at least since Reagan, possibly even in my entire lifetime.

Melanie Morgan seems to be a courageous soul who is performing a service to her country exactly when we need it.

Someone I want to hear from is Michael Steele. He needs to get out there and speak about how this bill will only hurt minorities and others in the long term. He needs to speak to this problem of sacrificing us all to the alter of multiculturalism and socialism.

He needs to denounce these RINO cowards.

Around what time was this? I was calling his DC office and started getting a "call failed" message a little after 11am IIRC.

we can all help Ms. Morgan...here is the e-mail address of Mr. Specter's chief-of-staff that took notes from the visit today...he has received several messages from me in the past few days...I live in PA.(Southwestern corner)adult son lives in southeastern PA..

so if everyone here would take a moment to send a message to this guy scott, maybe somebody will know we are not happy campers with Mr. Specter...
Specter is not the only OLD member that needs replaced, everyone of them over 70 needs to be sent home...and I'm no young chick, I rate up there with the old ones, but I'm smart enough to retire and enjoy what time is left...

here we go........

You are brave but I hope having your family photo here doesn’t cause problems for you or the kids somewhere down the line. Best wishes.

I love what she did. We pay for that stupid staff and we expect results.

Exactly. These people work for us and that includes The One himself. They need to keep being reminded of that fact.

To: Syncro; Jim Robinson; All
The baby boom generation is something else. I am talking about the people who came after WWII. Some of the boomers, like David Horawitz actually were commies. Horawitz will tell you that himself. Others in the boomer generation were useful idiots to the commie cause. Others didn't give a damn or only cared about themselves. And others were good people, who simply did nothing. And ALL these people kept saying to themselves, ‘you won't see IT in my lifetime’. Well, IT has to happen in somebodies lifetime. I suppose a lot of Europeans and Canadians said the same thing and now you have European Socialism and a bunk socialized medical system in Canada.

And what gets me mad is that people sit up on the high and mighty thrown, looking down on those who say that socialism/communism is coming (and there is no real difference between the two, both are evil and oppressive. Capitalism created more millionaires, while communism and socialism created more graves). These people call those who know that socialism is coming radical people. I guess calling people names is easier then trying to understand where the Paul Revere types are coming from. It was once said that for evil to exist, all it takes is for good people to do nothing. Well, even if you didn't think it was going to happen in your lifetime, that still does not mean that you should sit on your keyster and hope that someone will save the day in the eleventh hour.

I didn't do much with my life, but what I did do is arm myself with knowledge. I understood a long time ago that we had a problem in our great land. I didn’t know what the problem was, but I knew there was a problem. So, I started hunting down the reason for the treason. It took me a while, but I found the problem. It is called ideological subversion (or what I call the quiet revolution). the quiet revolution will crush everything good in this Nation. Especially, if good people do nothing. The revolution will crush our media, our learning institutes, hollywood, our courts, and our political process. Little by little, so it does not wake the sleeping giant. And then one day, it will be to late to fix. And all it took was for good people to keep sleeping through it all. Good people were convinced that it would not happen in their lifetime and they stayed in their dreamland.

In their lifetime, it did happen, it is happening. When the sleeping giant started to wake, the socialist said to them, it wont happen in your lifetime. And that helped put the giant back to sleep. If that did not work, the socialist and useful idiots said, I don't speak politics or religion. This convinced good people not to use their First Amendment right. And that helped put the giant back to sleep. So, good people walked around saying they didn't speak politics or religion and/or it won't happen in my lifetime. Then good people didn't have to learn about what was happening. Good people could go on about their life in bliss. A false bliss, because it indeed is happening in their lifetime. It just wasn't happening through the use of a bullet, because this time the battle is in the hearts and minds of the people. The people in Europe lost the battle in their hearts and minds. The people in Canada who now live with a semi socialist state, are losing the battle in the hearts and minds. And now the people in America are losing because they said it wont happen in their lifetime, because they didn't talk politics with their friends and family. Some of my family members have called folks like me radical. I heard them say it. They probably called me radical behind my back.

I am not the radical one. I am the one standing up for what our forefather's gave us. The radical ones are the ones who are bringing the quiet revolution to our door step. I am the one who points out the truth. The truth is we need a counter revolution. We may lose, or we may start to change the hearts and minds of the people. And let me tell you something, I hate to lose. Winning is everything and losing sucks.

And I made a huge mistake. And the team who makes the least mistakes, usually wins. I should have went to DC and took a stand with Patriots who knocked down Arlen Specter's, Connley, and Snow's door, but I choose to do nothing. I feel pretty damn guilty about it right now. We can not win by letting others fight the battles for us. Every letter I write a letter to Congress, I represents 100 people. Every time I stand up in DC, I represent 1,000 or more. I let 1,000 people down. I let the children of this Nation down. I let my Forefathers down. I could have gone, but I listened to a family member who said, you wont change the RINOs minds. Said it was a waste of time and money. Well, those items are expendable, but what is in my heart is not expendable. I have to live every moment of my life with what is in my heart. I would rather fight and lose then to not fight at all. I have walked a thousand miles out of my way in the past to avoid a fight. And when it was over, I felt bad about myself. Kinda like I do right now.

I would say that next time, I will be there. Well, if I keep saying that, there will be no next time. I stand and applaud every Patriot who went to DC. I am extremely proud of you all. Thank you for representing me.

I’m so tired of hearing on this website that we feel SORRY for these people! It was said last night about Zero on the press conference thread. I feel sorry for my wonderful Country that’s being taken down NOT these power-hungry traitors!!
