Tim Bishop (D-NY) & SEIU planning rally on 8/13 (Long Island)

Posted on 08/11/2009 5:37:27 AM PDT by FreedFromNY

I received an email from Individuals United for Freedom about a "healthcare rally", coordinated between Congressman Tim Bishop of Long Island & the SEUI. (Tim Bishop cancelled his earlier-scheduled townhall meetings out of cowardice.)

If anyone on Long Island is interested in countering, the group I cited above is planning to be there to protest. Just be careful - this one sounds like it could get ugly.

Here's the details, per the email:

What: Tim Bishop Town Hall meeting in Hicksville

When: August 13, 2009 1:00 PM

Where: SEUI United Healthcare 100 Duffy Avenue Hicksville, NY 11801

"Congressman Tim Bishop and the Long Island Federation of Labor are holding a Health Care Rally just south of the Hicksville Railroad Station (Parking: Enter the Garage on Duffy Avenue and tell security you are attending the conference with local 1199)

The organizers are seeking individuals willing to speak at the rally about health care and insurance issues they are experiencing – especially someone with high medical bills that insurance does not adequately cover or who has been denied insurance because of a pre-existing condition. If your agency has any interested client, please have them contact Krista Svedberg, Labor Liaison at United Way of Long Island at 631-940-3715 or ksvedberg@unitedwayli.org."

The news story is that the SEIU members are attending 'meeting control' training sessions while on the job, which is being paid for by your tax dollars!!

The SEIU will,no doubt,arrive equipped with their brass knuckles to mete out some revolutionary justice to us “un-American terrorists”.

Much like Obama’s stop in New Haven CT today... what’s the point of going to a carefully staged and choreographed event? A large group of socialists on the 6:00 news will not sway those who see what a debacle obamacare is.

Obviously the ‘rats don’t get it yet, and will need a riot or two before they understand the free people they’re irritating.

I will begin to “look for the union label” and avoid buying products with it on them. Any support I can deny to enemies of American freedom will be well worth changing a purchase decision for.

In other local. “Nancy Boy” Rush Holt representative from NJ 12th district will also host a town hall meeting this month August 27th. Location 30 Church Street, Middletown, NJ.

Rush is Nancy’s bitch and will vote for heath care bill just like he voted for Cap and go to China. Town hall will be a waste of time so far as changing Holt’s mind. He is a staunch Pelosi ally.

Rush needs to be retired next November, he forgot who he represents and who he works for.

Bishop got smacked down hard by that veteran at the last meeting. I hope that guy shows up again and brings a bunch of his buddies with him.
