Youngstown congressman cancels meeting when protesters appear Wednesday, March 31, 2010 10:02 AM

THE (YOUNGSTOWN) VINDICATOR

YOUNGSTOWN -- A congressman canceled an informational meeting on the new health care law because of security concerns.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan scheduled the meeting yesterday in Youngstown but called it off because his office was concerned about inadequate security.

About 15 demonstrators, including Tea Party members, had showed up to protest the wide-ranging health care overhaul signed into law last week.

Ryan's office says the meeting wasn't intended as a political forum and will be rescheduled.

About 15 demonstrators, including Tea Party members...

Just how does one become a "Tea Party member?" This media template is becoming obvious. We should not play into their hands. The phenomenon of ordinary citizens demanding their constitutional liberties should be called "The Patriot Movement" and not the Tea Party. This is no political party.

Well then they are going to have a very hard time campaigning because many will follow them where ever they go to ask questions.

This is great news!

As Thomas Jefferson once said, “When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have liberty.”

Sounds like liberty is just around the corner.

He also said, “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes required.”

Somewhere out there is the DNC/Center for American Progress/MoveOn strategy memo outlining this entire campaign to create a false impression about opposition to Obamacare, trash the Tea Party movement, hide from critics and constituents as is the case here, and probably most importantly, change the subject away from Obamacare to anything else.

Notice also the timing of the trip to Afghanistan, the announcement today on offshore drilling, the signing yesterday of the reconciliation bill where the emphasis was not on health care, but on student loans. They want to talk about anything BUT Obamacare.

Traficant should run as a Republican ! If he runs as an independent, he would split the non-democrat vote !

"The Patriot Movement"

The libs would automatically tie that to The Patriot Act.

Just like a naughty little puppy who knows he's done bad. It's time to rub their collective noses in the big puddle of wee they just wizzed onto the Constitution.

Apologize for the Joker

Yep. Standby for immigration, more Israel trashing and the planting of Michelle's White House garden.

It was billed as “an informational meeting on the new health care law”.

But the cowardly Congressman's lying lackeys said “the meeting wasn't intended as a political forum”.
