News Net 5: Rep. Marcia Fudge dropped all pretenses that this was a state of the district meeting and took on the topic of health care reform. She also made it clear right off the bat that disruptions would not be allowed. Anyone who attempted to engage Fudge before the question-and-answer period was quickly shown the door. Case Western Reserve University police said two opponents of reform were ejected for being disorderly. Fudge made sure critics knew where she stood. "This is still my meeting," she said.

My guess is that her district is solidly liberal and she has no fear of the opposition. Kind of like Shelia Jackson Lee’s district. She could be convicted of a felonyand still would win reelection.
Southern district of Ohio. For some reason, she has no web site, and hardly turns up on a google search. I did find this on a blog of someone making a list of black congressmen:
“In any case, I could find that all but two [black] members have been reelected. In a couple of cases the member had died and been replaced by an African-American since I last posted. Stephanie Tubbs Jones was not replaced until after the November 4 election, by a later special election. Her successor - Martha Fudge, also an African-American - was elected to fill in the rest of the term on November 18 as well as starting the full term in January.”
In other words, she must belong to one of those districts that were rigged for affirmative action. There’s probably no way she will lose an election no matter what she does.
Reality Check:
Is it any wonder why the black “community” continues to struggle? Look at the imbeciles they elect:
Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, and Fudge, just to name a few.
They simply have found another master. It is no longer the plantation. It is the Democrat party and victimhood.
Here's the problem:--- congress-critter is speaking, says an OUTRIGHT, IN-YOUR-FACE LIE, and somebody stands up and calls her on it.
This person has READ THE BILL, and knows for a fact that it is a lie, and if nobody calls her on that lie, she gets away with it because only the invited guests/plants are allowed to ask questions.
"Why are there people outside with signs saying bad things about the blah blah blah ... "
Yeah, so she talks for one hour and twenty-five minutes, and the naves get to ask questions for five minutes. Sounds good to you? Good grief.
These people came to ask questions, not to be preached to, or scolded for hours on end.
This biach may not like it, but citizens have a right to be boisterous to get a point across. It sure beats what the alternatives are.
What she just telegraphed is that she plans to be just as considerate when it comes time to cast her vote. “Screw you constituents, it’s still my will not yours.”
Kick this bitch to the curb in 2010.
One thing that our politicians forget. They are employees of the people. Therefore, the meetings belong to the people, not the politician. Also, remember that today, Government has decided how Society will be formed. It should be that Society decides how Government will be formed.
We have seen how effective the Town Hall meetings have been in bringing out the silent majority. Town Hall meetings should be held at all levels of government. State Town Hall meetings, City Town Hall meetings and County Town Hall meetings. This will bring back control to the people.
So, we have to keep going up? ;)
I wonder, at what level, could districting laws be passed requiring congressional districts to be rectangular...
Sounds like it would probably have to be an Amendment.
And I’d BET that the opposition to such a law/proposal would be that such a proposal is “racist”.
” I don’t have a problem with that. It should be discussed in a rationale tone. If people want to set up protests, then they can scream and chant at those. Your points and concerns can be better communicated that way. There should be townhall meetings and protests. “
In other words - go back to being easily ignored... (Mind your ‘betters’...)
Recent polling shows that Independents, by an overwhelming majority, approve of what we’re doing...
*This* is what’s working, where your way has served to get is to the point where radical tactics are necessary....
Safe to say that Fudge packed the meeting hall with her supporters, eh?
The political elite class is doing a great job of demonstrating their arrogance and alienation from the people. As long as they are tucked away in the palace, and quietly siphoning off the lifeblood of the economy, no one pays much attention to them. They emerge periodically to create a ruckus about how great they are, and how generous (with other people’s money). But now the sheeple are beginning to notice the chains around their ankles.
Yes, it always pays off to be polite to people who are trying to enslave you.
Inside the inner chamber of the castle the kings squire hastily approaches the throne:
Squire: “Sire, the peasants are REVOLTING! The peasants are REVOLTING!”
Totally oblivious King: “Yes they are.”
The above scene is taking place in town halls and elsewhere, ALL OVER America, regarding Obama’s government run deathcare, “cap and trade,” “man made global warming” and amnesty for illegal aliens. Ironically, the attitude of most of those in power from our so-called “president,” on down to those in the House and Senate, is EXACTLY the same:
“The peasants are REVOLTING!”… “YES THEY ARE!”
Our so-called “leaders” choose to remain TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS to the reality of what is taking place and willfully refuse to understand WHY so many American CITIZENS (not surfs) are upset with their pushing policies and bills upon us that will enslave and hurt EVERYONE ELSE BUT THEM! The reason why is because they believe with all of their hearts that:
“All animals are equal, and some animals are MORE EQUAL than others.”
The American people are finally waking up and realizing that those in power believe that THEY are “MORE EQUAL” than the rest of us, i.e., those whom they govern; the VERY PEOPLE who have put them into power! They believe and act as though the rules and laws they pass apply to EVERYONE ELSE BUT THEM!
Americans are not going to let this stand because (contrary to what they believe) THIS IS NOT ANIMAL FARM, neither is it Venezuela, Cuba, Canada, communist China, North Korea or Russia! We live in AMERICA; a country that promises LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL, not just for those “animals” who deem themselves “BETTER” and “MORE EQUAL than others (read: everyone else).”
THIS is the reason why Americans are protesting and refusing to submit to Obama’s and the democrats so-called government run “health (death) care” program, because those in power, along with their entire extended families, ALONG WITH THE UNIONS AND ALL OF THEIR MEMBERS have all EXEMPTED themselves from being under the same program they are trying to FORCE upon everyone else.
We are NOT animals! We are Americans!
THIS IS NOT ANIMAL FARM! This is America!
It is high time that those in power realized this, unless they want to join the ranks of the last king, former aristocrat/autocrat who when faced with similar circumstances had the same attitude and audaciously said: “Let them eat cake.”
Send Fudge packing!!!!!!
