Friday, May 12, I with about a dozen others in the Minuteman Project Caravan to Washington D.C. visited the offices of Senators offices on both sides of the 'Amnesty' issue. We first stopped by the office of Senator Jeff Sessions and expressed our GREAT APPRECIATION for his heroic fight against the Leftists and the compromised 'Conservatives' in the Senate. His staff was very pleased to host our group.
Then, we went to some that were not exactly heroes, at least not lately. As a group or individually, I also visited the offices of Frist, Feinstein, Brownback and a number of others.
I had the audacity to write in Senator Chuck Hagel's public Guest Book a written demand that he enforce the law and uphold the Constitution. Anyone who can verify my May 12 entry there--as a taxpayer very appropriately utilizing taxpayer-purchased materials--please feel free to do so. But I'll bet that particular book just winds up 'lost' or missing a page.
A photographer from The Washington Times was with us for the final several hundred miles along the Caravan. She photographed the Hagel guest book while we were in his office. I don't think the photo made it into print, however.
I made a similar entry in Senator John McCain's guest book that same day. Various members of the caravan were present. While I wrote, others politely but firmly insisted that Senator McCain uphold the U.S. Constitution. Although we were peaceful, the tall young man at the front desk probably pushed a hidden button, because without his phoning anyone, a dour, dark-haired woman looking to be in her 40s, with a silent man about the same age, came from behind varnished doors. She told us to leave immediately or we would be reported to the Capitol Police and arrested. Wow. So much for constituent free speech!
She had no name tag on. I asked her name but The Dour One refused to provide the information. I asked her title but she remained silent. If dirty looks could kill, there would have been a dozen Minuteman corpses! The silent man accompanying her seemed to be also mute--or ashamed of his name as well. We left. I WISH I had a photo of that, um, public servant. There was a private photo taken of the McCain guest book by our group; I hope to locate who took it.
The Dour One was not a junior aide, she was some sort of senior staffer for McCain. McCain would have wanted us treated exactly that way. Yes, constituents like us make it very inconvenient for humble public servants to arrogate their wishes upon a dumbed-down populace. And we intend to make it even harder for such dour parasitic lice as these to remain AS public servants.
People of Arizona, you need to send some people in for Sensitivity Training. Not as in sensitivity to my feelings. Sensitivity to what the whole McCain staff is going to need for their NEXT JOBS after we vote Treacherous Johnny out of office!
A recent FR poll asked whether I'd vote for McCain vs. Hillary for President. I didn't vote. I DO NOT TRUST THE MAN. And the way his staff treated us was exactly how I'd expect to be treated by a political enemy. I guess I am--because I expect anyone on a governmental payroll in the United States of America to be loyal to the U.S. Constitution, to say the Pledge of Allegiance and to defend this Country--not betray it. Mr. McCain, thanks for your past service, but you are now no friend of America, Sir.
Meanwhile, it is IMPERATIVE that true Conservatives not be dismayed or alienated from the GOP--we just need to weed out the untrustworthy RINOs and CINOs posing as Republicans. THAT is the solution, not being divided-and-conquered by Leftist friends like McCain!

Care to elaborate? I'm not clear what your innuendo is.
There once was a traitor, McCain
Sold our freedom for personal gain
So let's set things aright
And get down to the fight
So he doesn't win election again
Yes I do. (I just didn't vote in the FR straw poll about McCain.)
Thanks for everything that you have done Lyman, and thanks for all the pings as Bb.
Outstanding FReeper comments, context, background information. BTTT.
'STAKEHOLDERS' are not all citizens and that is the problem--giving much too much consideration to those who have no standing in the matter.
Thanks for the info.
Amen and I would like to throw him down the marble steps myself.
"We tried that in April at his Phoenix office...we were still kicked off the grounds"
I'm not surprised. The rascal thinks he's politically untouchable for four more years. I say not so.
"reviving the recall against him (MCCAIN) may have a slightly better chance of succeding."
EXACTLY! WE CANNOT FAIL, WE MUST NOT FAIL!
May you have the honor!
Burbster; SLAP SLAP (eye poke) no video camera?.. would have be nice to a gander at the alleged harpy and consort.. Maybe names can be "unearthed" and the political records of the players could be sought.. Might make for some interesting discussion.. and blurbification..
Him and George Bush seem to be in a competion.. Dubya is winning..
>>While I wrote, others politely but firmly insisted that Senator McCain uphold the U.S. Constitution<<
Who were they insisting to? Was mcCain there?

We were insisting to his front-office staffer, who was a young man about 25 years old. We'd been told the Senator was not available so we were leaving a firm but polite message.
So let's set things aright
And get down to the fight
So he doesn't win election again
Is there a legal method in AZ for recalling him?
I've never heard that a Senator could be recalled. Not sure whether that would pass constitutional muster...??
Ouch! Ouch! I did the best I could with what I had! Lend me your video camera for the next trip, OK? ;^)
