What's the most effective way to demonstrate at a townhall? (Vanity)

If you are questioned by the police, tell them that you are an illegal alien (or planning to become one) they will let you go. Anyway, we should all renounce our citizenship and become illegal aliens now so that we can avoid the health care taxes.

Bring empty 5 gallon paint buckets labeled TAR in big letters and bags of feathers.

I have started making signs with pictures of torches and pitchforks! All of my representatives in Washington are Republicans, but I am fed up with them TOO.

I liked the sign someone had at one of the Tea Parties -
WE DIDN'T BRING GUNS
. . . THIS TIME

[musicbymuzak]

Where can I get one?

Then start asking questions specific to pages in the bill...

It might be a good idea to make copies of the pages you are referencing. And be sure to take along two reams of paper to show how large the bill is.

We need to compile a “Tough questions” thread listing all the questions they won’t answer.

For example...
Why are some people/organizations exemptor or receive gov’t subsidies? (Unions, I think.)

Why do Illegals get free healthcare and we have to pay for them?

Why isn’t the proposed healthcare package NOT good enough for the President and members of Congress?

How much will the monthly payments be? Is the gov’t going to charge it to or withdraw it from your bank checking account?

This is a great thread.

It is clear that the Democraps are becoming very hard to find and few will hold town meetings.

Therefore the town meetings must become citizen meetings in every Congressional District in the Country. They should be held regularly (possibly every month) until the next election. The participants should also start recall petitions for every member of Congress.

This will certainly get attention and put some fear of the electorate into the hearts of the major pimps of the election industry!

Paper bags full of fresh dung...

A nice chant or two would be fine when your Congressional Clunker starts spouting their lies. Nothing gets attention like a well time chant of modest length.

Keep it simple. Every time they lie, chant one of these:

"Liar! Liar!"

"Liar, liar, pants on fire!"

"You work for us!"

[Mr. Silverback]

If they pre-screen, start a group chanting “Answer real questions” over and over. Plus, they will likely lie even if they answer pre-screened questions, which gives you the opportunity to shout them down as a liar or start a “liar, liar, pants on fire” chant.

[Mr. Silverback]

At LC.org, Libery Council has collected a list of all the creepy stuff in the bill, with page numbers.

[Kimberly GG]

DemocRAT talking points have them shouting about how the Health Care townhalls are being “swiftboated” by insurance company operatives.

[Vanders9]

Not a good one. King George didnt do anything to the colonists so your federal government can get away with anything.

[TheThirdRuffian]

I just got back from the middle east.

They solve everything by throwing rocks at it.

[Balding_Eagle]

OK! That makes sense, and I’m sure you’ll agree that’s stupid.

If you were there as part of the military, thanks for your service!
