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.

Spec the RINO is from PA. Since PA has about totally gone Marxist, he is afraid he will not get reelected next time and he is running scared. He, like most politicians have forgotten what it is like to actually have to go out and find a real job and work for a living.

I’m always a bit skeptical of people who speak in the 3rd person.

My note to Mr. Steele:

Dear Mr. Steele,

I have always admired your intellect and conservative convictions, and I realize the delicate political sensitivity of your job, especially during these difficult times; but how you deal with the “Republicans” who voted with the Democrats to approve this shameful government spending bill will define your tenure as the chairman of the GOP. If you feel that conservatives should be active in the Republican party, you must deal with senators Spector, Snowe, and Collins very forcefully…if you do not, I will be convinced you are part of the politics as usual mind set and I promise I will NEVER send a nickel to the party again.

It is your turn…you are on, and I wish you well.

Regards,

Thanks...Of course I do wish all them well.

However, until the stocks and horsewhips are brought out I do not look for much positive change.

That’s what I want to know. Where is our Washington. Our Jefferson, Adams, Revere, etc. These and many others didn’t take this kind of BS sitting down. Have we really become a nation of weenies?

I agree. Step up, Steele, show some balls and unite the base, raise money, finish off the Democrat Party in the South, and begin the rebuilding now. NOW NOW NOW.

Although, the country's well being is starting to worry me.

No, standard NATO issue for the M-16 and M4. Good thinking though.
