What is it with the League of Womans Voters and the Pledge of Allegiance?
For the second time in less than a week a congressional debate began with a request for the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, and for the second time in a week the League of Womans Voters moderator said no, and for the second time in a week the audience got up and said it anyway. One would think that with all of the bad publicity after last weeks incident, the League would have gotten it. But Tuesday night the League of Woman Voters proved that they arent too quick on the uptake.
The Pennsylvania 18th Congressional district debate between Republican incumbent Tim Murphy and his Democratic party challenger Dan Connolly was about to begin when Murphy asked the moderator for the pledge. As the moderator Susan Reuther began to make excuses, the crowd stood up and took action on their own.

A good example, actuall an excellent “example” for people to learn that they can take action and take this government back. Politicians need to learn that they work for us, we don’t work for them.

Now we all need to start praying before them as we used to as well. If you do that, liberals in the room will start to melt and scream. Let's hold off until AFTER the debate for that one...

Tim Murphy is my congressman. He's a gentleman and he did the right thing by giving the League of Women Vipers the opportunity to do the right thing.
LWV claims to be non-partisan. In reality, they are only slightly to the left of the NEA.

Hoping this is indicative of America taking an attitude.
We’ve allowed the snot noses of the Left their heads for too long.

You must live in my district, then, because he’s my congresscritter, too.
I heard him talk about this the next day on Q&R. I think he handled it well.
I never did believe the non-partisan claims of the LWV.

I agree.... I hope this is a sign of things to come. That people aren’t going to rest until we take our country back from these leftists.

Detroit may be a wasteland, but the surrounding areas are fertile ground for the Tea Party movement. Even here in Dearborn, individuals are standing up and voicing their opposition to the liberal ideology.
Henry David Thoreau is one of my favorite writers. Its time we start some civil disobedience of our own.
