Well, _geezer, wasn't Congressman Roscoe Bartlett the guy who Schulz & org. originally petitioned.
Actually Bartlett was only approached to arrange an meeting in Washington. He was not questioned, nor did Schulz ever mention that he would be.
The only targets for questioning, as mention by Shulz & Co., were the IRS & DOJ.
What was arranged, was not a congressional hearing at all, but a meeting arranged for constituents to meet with members of government for a briefing on taxes.
This whole thing has been hyped from the beginning by Schulz if you look over the various communications and articles that have shown up here on FR.
You call this disappointment "hype." I call our government irresponsible about a clear method for taking them to task about grievances. They won't answer anything unless you take them to court. Even then, they "can't recall" or they, "don't know."
There is no such thing as petioning our government about grievances, today. And you have the *GUTS* to call this "hype." You celebrate another plank hammered into the bridge of a police state in America.
