Someone in Boca Raton has a personal agenda. You could ask the Mayor to check the phone log for a complaint on the 14th about your freep at the Police Department he won't find it.

A large group of citizens wanting tax reform also gathered at the Post Office in Nashville yesterday. They made the news on both radio and television.

Both referred to the group as "libertarians."

Are there any cops here who might be able to shed some insight on the mentality of cops like the one described? What is their major malfunction?

That should tell Republicans they aren't working hard enough.

Sounds like there need to be signs proclaiming:

"REPUBLICANS FOR TAX REFORM"

Sheesh. Talk about having to spoon-feed...

You realize that's a bit of a contradiction, don't you?

I thought it was great what happened at the Post Office yesterday. I say: Way to go!

I was just a bit surprised, however, that both radio and television recognized the libertarians as such, and gave them such good press.

Your average postal employee......like your average beat cop.......have the IQ's of stalks of celery.

Good for you for sticking up for your rights.

If Libertarians are the only ones getting press for advocation tax-reform, the two 'major' parties are inching far closer together than anyone seems to care about.

Most government employees do not care about the Constitution. If the masses and the government actually cared about the Constitution, then most of those employees would quickly be out of a job.

Yeah but I got to vote fro Reno in the Primary election last year. :)

Now when the elections come around I'm on their phone list can you imagine the conversations we have?

It's great sport and a benefit I never anticipated.

Looks like it happened at other post offices across the country as well:

LaPorte County Libertarian Party puts forth its message about taxes being too high at the local post office

On tax day Monroe County’s Libertarian Party picketed the post office and handed out information

Luzerne County Libertarian Party gave taxpayers fake million dollar bills as they enter the post office

Honk if you hate taxes: Members of the Greenville County Libertarian Party, said they were protesting the fact Americans must pay taxes

The Libertarian Party also made appearances in New York City at the Main post office at North Capital Street and Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C.

Also, there are articles that it happened in other towns and cities as well. Don't have the energy to post ALL the links.

While one party (D) need only march in place, the other (wannabe/metoo) party (R) is quickly catching up.
