Newtown families: Victims turn lobbyists [Politico Thinks This is NEW?]

When a lobbyist for families of Newtown shooting victims called the office of Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) to set up a meeting, the first response was a standard D.C. offer. They could get a meeting with her staff, and a quick and simple “hello” from Collins herself, they were told.

The families’ answer: not good enough. According to their lobbyists, the families have a rule against staff-only meetings: They won’t do them. They insist on sitting down with the senators themselves.

See, when victims of a tragedy are promoting ideas that are favorites of LIBERALS, they are applauded and written about with great fanfare and aplomb. (see: Jersey Girls)

But if those people are promoting CONSERVATIVE ideals, they're ignored or treated like scumbags. (see: Glenn Beck's rally and Tea Partiers)

Anyone want to mention this:

Obama flies lobbyists on Air Force 1, at taxpayer expense, from Connecticut to Washington, D.C.!

What about the father from Newtown who is NOT on board with the Obama agenda? Has Pollutico interviewed or given HIM any attention?

United States of Lobbyist of Amerika Now. The majority of these things we see coming at us, has been taken over by special interests. We have to stop this corruption. Collins fell into an emotional trap. She's a dingbat and a sell out. The folks came there for one purpose. Gun control.

Oblamo, what about the sequester?? Why should you fly people when tours are cancelled at the WHITE HUT?

Don’t forget: he also hated the Jews, just like the people on the floor of the Democrat party at their last convention.

[DJ MacWoW]

That goes without saying. He exterminated Gypsies and others too. Liberals love extermination.
