At one protest, a Congressman was hung in effigy I'm all for it as long as Effigy is a small town in that congrssman's district.

In addition to the usual signs and banners, I suggest RUBBER CHICKENS be prominently displayed to show what we think about Congressmen who are too CHICKEN to face their constituents!
Now just don’t go hanging any rubber chickens in effigy or we’ll have PETA all over our butts!

Tar and feather them in effigy.

Sad statements from an “AP” teacher of government.
Condemning the anger instead of dissecting it for what it is.
to a liberal, civil discourse is democrat’s acting out street theater while opponents stay silent and stay home

He’s a clueless lying moron. He says things hoping that no one will check the facts.
About a month back he said that Jackson had made the Forbes list as one of the best small cities to live in. Unfortunately what the forbes list said was that Jackson was the number one small city where it was hardest to find a job.

You know, when there isn’t an opportunity for interaction, the presentation is referred to as a lecture. It’s one thing to be lectured to by an expert, but when the lecturer isn’t even familiar with the topic of the debate, it quickly becomes a waste of oxygen.

The "Telephone Town Hall Meeting" is the RAT method of avoiding embarassing videos of people exercising their rights to free speech.
Each and every Congressperson and Senator who uses this method or avoids town hall meetings should be shown the door at their next re-election bid.

and another received a telephoned death threat. Actual death threat or just someone expressing a desire that the Congressman live under his own socialized medicine? Oh, wait, those are essentially the same.

The correct phrase is *hanged* in effigy. I hope Chris Gautz is better at planning all of these rallies than he is at writing.

You know, i've been reading and listening to all the AARs from various sources regarding these "hijacked" Town Hall meetings-and if the thugocracy thinks that the way to shut concerned Americans up is to bully,besmirch and intimidate them into silence and acceptance,they couldn't be more wrong.
I pray the rallies continue unabated and in addition to it, flood those offices with emails and faxes until all of their machines shut down.
I pray that You Tube is so inundated with these videos that it crashes from the weight.
I really believe that if we all keep screaming and shouting it WILL drive this healthcare bill in its present form off of the table and out the door.
TURN UP THE HEAT....
and THEN,in 2010....GET OUT THERE AND VOTE THESE BASTARDS OUT!!!!!

PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT!! With so many cowarding out of Town Hall Meetings, here is an opportunity to take a Town Hall to them!! TeaPartiers are organizing to protest at local offices on August 22!! Also, I hope that we can encourage our local (R) congresscritters to hold Town Halls, like Vitter did, to get the TRUTH out to those uninformed and listening only to MSM. DIMS should NOT be the only leadership out there trying to get their (lies) message out.
August 22: Join the nationwide Recess Rally; Dems performing CPR on Obamacare
By Michelle Malkin
We have the momentum to kill Obamacare.
The congressional recess period is critical.
Ive joined many grass-roots groups in a nationwide coalition holding a Recess Rally on August 22, 2009.
The Tea Party revolt and the grass-roots counterinsurgency against the health care takeover have taken congressional offices locally and Washington, D.C. by storm.
Now, more than ever: Crank it up, spread the truth, raise your voices, and tell Washington
Hands Off Our Health Care.
Go to Recess Rally to get organized."
Here is the link for Recess Rally...find your locale and join in on LOCAL teaparties against Obamacare!!!
