FAIRFIELD, Conn. A busload of activists outnumbered 2-to-1 by reporters and photographers are paying visits to the homes of American International Group Inc. executives in Connecticut to protest tens of millions in bonuses awarded by the company.
About 40 protesters parked at a cul-de-sac Saturday afternoon and walked to the Fairfield home of Douglas Polling. They were met on the curb by two security guards, and one activist read a letter detailing the financial struggles that many Connecticut residents have faced. The group then left the note in Polling's mailbox.

There were NO mainstream reporters at a Tea Party in Ridgefield CT going on at the same time. At our protest we had about 300 people and many sympathizers driving by honking horns for us. Oh wait we were orderly citizens and taxpayers ... no story there, never mind.

It’s only a reconnoiter mission right now. Coming soon: America’s version of Kristallnacht.

The protesters are misguided!
Obama and the Democratic controlled Congress cut AIG the checks with no strings attached.

The left wingers in the media covered this because it was a phony event staged by the DNC.

"The group then left the note in Polling's mailbox."Isn't that against the law? Only the PO can put things in your mailbox since it belongs to them ....

What the hell is going on in this country when private citizens are targeted by the Federal government and their goons? Soon they’ll be burning the houses. This is a Krsytallnacht in the making.

The article indicated the activists left their note in Douglas Polling’s MAILBOX? I do believe anything other than mail delivered to a mailbox by the P.O. is totally illegal. Mr. Polling should take this up with authorities.
While I am not thrilled by the AIG bonuses, I see nothing but trouble coming from the thugs touring around neighborhoods in buses, checking out the executives’ homes.

Nice to see America’s fine “journalists” following around the ACORN rent-a-mobs for stories.

Yes, it IS against the law — I didn’t see your post when I responded the same way you did re putting notes in mailboxes —

Not to worry - I do the same thing myself ... I don’t read all the posts and wind up saying basically the same thing - however one way to look at it is, like minds ....

“The group then left the note in Polling’s mailbox.”
Isn’t tampering with the mail or mailbox a Federal offense? — United States Code TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 83
I’ll take anything to get these fruitcases off the streets.
