Awesome video from inside of Representative Kathy Castor's Townhall. The video is professional quality and show sights and sounds and Democrat Operative trying desperately to stack the room and create a cheerleading session.
Alas, it wasn't to be, the chants from outside, and the few brave citizens who were able to get inside still made their presence felt.
Bing, Bing, Bing...
Breathtaking.. this is news.
You get a cupie doll. This may justify a thread of its own.
I’m just covering a few more bases. They aren’t registered as a 527 with the IRS either... so now I’ve got to check one more thing to close the deal!!
Agreed.
Jim, you might want to take a look at post #38 on this thread.
Oh, SWEEET!
Admins? Please start at post #38 and work your way down. This is getting juicy.
I saved the pics on my hard drives as well in case of any issues on your end.
Well I just checked one other place, and found that they are a Federal Pac. The only problem: they haven’t raised any money in a looooong time... and the money they did raise equalled about $2,000.
So I don’t know what this means... I have to do some FEC law reading tomorrow.

I found this group breaking campaign law in the State of Florida. At 1:40 of the video a close up is made on the organizer's id pin.. the pin says: Florida Consumer Action Network. Florida law states that any group that actively engages in political activity, which this group is clearly doing, must be registered with the Florida Division of Elections.
Well this group hasn't been actively registered with the State of Florida since 2005!
He was clearly on the job there in a partisan effort passing out Obama’s signs. He didn’t pass out any of the opposition’s signs.
She needs to be made to answer for this, and his pic needs to be put all over this thread.
Are the local news folks mentioning this? Get ahold of them as well.
While everyone was held outside the meeting hall, Obama organizers handed out leaflets with headings saying, “Organizing for America” and, “Health care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year.” President Barack Obama.
While select people were allowed into the meeting hall from a back door, propaganda leaflets were handed out with large words on one side (designed to be held up) saying, “I Stand With Obama For health Care.”
While people were chanting outside, “Open up the meeting to the people!” the community organizers handed out 2’ x 3’ posters that said, “Health Care For America Now”.
And then Kathy Castor comes in with her smirk on her face. She had her script and nothing was going to take her off her script. There was nothing the people could say about the matter. It did not make any difference. Kathy Castor, with her little smirk, was not listening to anything the people had to say. They could as well be dogs barking. She had the words from the Party to deliver because she believed the people were ignorant and she had the words from the Teleprompter in Chief. She did not think it was time for her to listen to what the people had to say. It did not matter if the people would not listen to her, this Health Care bill will be passed whether they want it or not. She was more important and had the power to force feed this government takeover of our freedoms with all the might of government.
Democracy and the rule by the people has ended. While these wardens of tyranny tell us there is nothing more we can say, empty out of your pockets, mam.
I agree, his defense though will be that he lied to his badge or he actually quit that organization in 2005 but forgot to remove the badge from his coat. Ooops.
There is a point halfway into it where she loses her pasted on smile.
WOW! I love it!
Republicans/Libertarians/Independents/some Democrats are mad as hell and we aren’t going to take it anymore!
She hasn’t read the bill, but she has the ‘Rat talking points (ie...lies) down pat!
Thank you both for the thread and the post.
What great inspiration before the town “hell” meeting I’m attending on Monday!
Bring several friends..and several cameras.
I hope you have a YouTube account.
Maybe folks need to get a hold of some SEIU or “pro-Obama” propaganda shirts just to make sure they can get IN to the meetings.
Next time they/we should bring an electric megaphone connected to a speaker system. Press those speakers right up against the windows, crank ‘em up and start shouting through the megaphone. Just start reciting the Dec. of independence and reading the constitution, pledge of allegiance, or whatever, out loud, real loud. Then give them a little karaoke of the Star-spangled Banner, America the Beautiful, etc.. Make it impossible for them to carry on if they shut us out.
It was probably opened just to take a small $2k payoff. They probably had some related organizers order some buttons a little bit of other stuff. Either that or it’s still active and they’re laundering campaign money.
Just the case of him passing out pro-ostammer/rat stuff while wearing a button won’t prove anything. The literature he’s passing out is required to say what organization is paying for it.
Somebody can be a member of more than one political organization at a time. If one of them is defunct, the stooge handing out the crap may not even know that, or can certainly argue that. Or somebody gave him a button. So what? The question is what organization published the literature and are their filings up to snuff, and is handing out pro-rat literature at an open public forum legal under the circumstances.
Castor will say she knew nothing of it, and she will be believed. Unless they contributed to her campaign, she may have no identifiable connection to the organization.
Not sure if this would be considered "political activity" as that Florida statute defines it. The group could try to wheedle its way out of such a charge by describing their activity at this town hall as "issue advocacy" rather than "political activity." It's all a matter of semantics.
