MoveOn.org is Trying to Mobilize Activists to Attend Town Hall Meetings to Push for ‘Public Option’
CNSNews ^ | August 13, 2009 | Penny Starr

Posted on 08/13/2009 2:37:02 PM PDT by Pellegrino

The lead article on MoveOn.org’s Web site yesterday and this morning is headlined, “It’s Getting Ugly.”

“Right-wing extremists are disrupting town hall meetings with attacks on President Obama’s plans for health care and clean energy,” it says. “But we’re showing Congress that ordinary Americans continue to support his agenda for change.”

If visitors to the site then click on a link labeled, “Get materials to attend a town hall near you,” they are directed to a list of three suggested statements and a question they can use at town hall meetings, as well as additional links to ready-made posters that can be downloaded and printed.

MoveOn.ORG represents the mainstream just as Frankenstein represents A Big and Tall store!

Here is a screen shot of their home page and the three posters. Need to disinfect and run a virus scan on my computer now. :)

I bet all the independent voters who see this steaming pile of legislation for what it is - just love being called nazis, right-wing extremists, and a mob. Those are very endearing terms, and are sure to win more converts. How very well thought out these democrat plans are.

Carry on Move-On. Thoughtful of you to be our useful idiots.

"Barack Obama told supporters that
'change has come to America' as he
claimed victory in a historic presidential election."





“Years and years of history books have taught us that America was shaped by the great deeds of great men and women. It was not. America was shaped by the great deeds of ordinary men and women. America always has been better than its government, that its people have always been more decent than their presidents, and that the strength and greatness of this nation lies in them, the men and women who are not great and who never will be.”

— Roger Simon

The funny thing is how those union drones are being duped into working aginst their own interests. I guess that’s why they’re in a union....can’t think for or take care of themselves.

"Yep. Bongs too. The yutes have already done the “historic” thing for the new hopey/changey shiny Pet Rock White Guilt President. Never to be repeated."

This. The perfect storm is over, not to be repeated for another 30 years.

And yet a fresh breeze is picking up ... It's almost Morning Again in America ...

The title of this thread made me think that they were going to make a “Girls of MoveOn.org” calendar.

Thanks!

Also, just a note: I made it REAL BIG. Just click on the image and you’ll get the hi-res version suitable for printing out posters.

Cheers

“Loyal taxpaying hard working Americans are disrupting town hall meetings with attacks on President Obama’s plans for health care and clean energy,” “But we’re showing Congress that corrupt lowlife Americans like us continue to support his agenda for change.”

There fixed it.
