On Thursday, August 12, Representative Melissa Bean (IL-8-D) held a public meeting at the Round Lake Library. The meeting was billed as a financial education seminar, to teach citizens how to manage their credit card debt. What happened at this meeting was anything but educational.
During the meeting, which I attended, citizens started to ask questions about jobs, government spending and the federal deficit. Every time a citizen would attempt to ask a question, Melissa Bean's thug, who we were told worked for the Round Lake Library, would walk over to that person and hover over him or her, to intimidate them. This went on during the course of the entire meeting without Bean saying a word about the blatant intimidation she knew her constituents must be feeling.
It is obvious from Bean's obfuscation that she chose this type of forum so she would not have to answer any direct questions about her voting record. Instead of having an open town hall forum where citizens are free to have a dialogue with their representative, Bean chose to have a representative from the Illinois State Treasury come in and lecture her constituents on how they should pay down their credit card debt and start saving.
How ironic, when the Federal Government has spent over 13 Trillion dollars and the majority of the states are on the verge of bankruptcy.
In the video you will see that all attempts to ask Bean questions were either "shut down" by Bean personally or through the intimidation tactics of her thug. Is this the type of "transparency" we were promised? Why does Bean feel that thuggery is acceptable?
Watch the video and see if you can answer any of these questions.
Video, 8/14/2010, "Rep. Melissa Bean IL8 Sends in the Thug"
Jean, administrator of We the People USA, is a contributor to Gulag Bound. See her report, "The Marxo-Fascist ‘Social and Economic Justice’ Ties That Bind," for more reporting on thuggery of the financial kind.
Sounds like the people of Texas and the people of northern New England have something in common.

Liberals. They taste just like chicken. ;-)
Or shout to no one in particular, "George! Show Lenny the way to the rabbits!"
Years ago... I had a big football guy sitting behind me in a college class. Everyone was scared of him because he was such a bully.
One day ...he kept tapping me on the shoulder and insisting I give him my study notes (on the eve of final exams). I tried to ignore him but he wouldn't stop.
I finally stood up, turned around and yelled in his face that if he'd paid attention in class.. he wouldn't need anyone else's notes... and to keep his stinkin' hands off my person. His eyes were saucered and he kept saying..."okay sorry...Okay sorry...Okay".
The professor asked me after class if I'd go visit ALL his classes. *chuckle* Sometimes these goons just need to be called out...and for no one to stand up to them in a very public setting....is insane.
LOL!! You owe me a new keyboard!
Hahahaha in this case either will do.
Could be, but the question that puzzles all the rest of us is what the heck is with the RINO Maine Senators seeming lock on voters?
bttt for later viewing
That may be someone involved and I don’t want to discuss it in an open forum, but let the record show that is not the person identified as the “thug” in the video.
Seems Melissa Bean’s thug is simply following the great O’s strateggy of “getting in their faces”, and those concerned with Ms. Bean’s performance so far are somewhat accustomed to being treated this way, since no one challenged her by asking why she had a hired? thug who stood over each of the constitutents who asked a question that Ms. Beanie wanted to ignore.
Remember this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCMDur9CDZ4
The Great O admonishing the unwashed masses to be confrontative toward their neighbors and to argue with them. Seems that Ms. Bean wasn’t personally comfortable with taking on that role, but was more than pleased to have a heavyweight intimidate her constituents.
And from what I’ve read, those constituents were required to register A WEEK IN ADVANCE and PAY $25.00 to attend the meeting in which they were bludgeoned by her bully bouncer friend.

It is interesting that she’s uncomfortable with the camera, yet she holds public office! More of us will need to keep cameras in hand on election day, and at these forums!!
They’re very useful in documenting with complete accuracy what happens when the left is left to their own deviant ways!
