Comments on: Shaheen: Constituents’ “Right Have Been Trampled On” by Protesters http://www.nowhampshire.com/2009/08/06/shaheen-constituents%e2%80%99-%e2%80%9cright-have-been-trampled-on%e2%80%9d-by-protesters/ News from New Hampshire Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:05:21 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: NH http://www.nowhampshire.com/2009/08/06/shaheen-constituents%e2%80%99-%e2%80%9cright-have-been-trampled-on%e2%80%9d-by-protesters/comment-page-1/#comment-1814 NH Mon, 10 Aug 2009 06:00:21 +0000 http://www.nowhampshire.com/?p=2329#comment-1814 Brace yourselves folks... and if you've not been out there with us please join! Tuesday will be fun! :-) Shaheen said: “New Hampshire citizens have a right to get the help they need from the federal government.” She twisted that presser pretty good. WE were the CONSTITUENTS and she called us protesters. WE were the ones who did not get helped. We didn't have to see the staffers one on one because we saved them the time by telling them en masse how all 50 of us felt. (There were 24 outside, but suddenly when we went in more showed up!) IF we had prevented anyone from getting help, don't you think the cop there would have at least looked at me on the way out? She had better retract that presser or I might sue for defamation of my character for making me sound like I did something criminal. Brace yourselves folks… and if you’ve not been out there with us please join!

The “reporter” never identified himself, but launched himself with guerilla attitude. The “reporter” (who refused to provide press credentials) spent two hours with the Anti group, then came over to the Pro group with two of the Anti people (including the Tyranny/God sign-holder,) all three of whom were immediately belligerent. This “reporter” was obviously not there to listen, but to challenge. That’s not journalism. A legitimate reporter from the Tri-Town News had already respectfully interviewed both sides. At one point, a woman joined the Pro group and stood chatting and sign holding for about ten minutes, before she realized that she had intended to be in the Anti group. Go figure. There were several senior citizens on the Anti side, yet not one of them complained about Medicare, which is a PUBLIC HEALTH PLAN. There is so much mis-information swirling around: A Public Health Care Option provides options. The overall tone of the Anti groups at town hall meetings and events across the country is just that – anti. They are not interested in a dialogue or civil debate. They shout their questions, and don’t wait to hear an answer. Ultimately, all Americans should be helping to craft a public policy that benefits as many people as possible. Is that a bad thing? We all want the best for all of us; a discussion about public option is a step toward a good policy for all of us. Just a few facts about that day, from someone who was there:

Attack your target with weirdos and inflammatory signs about tyranny and god...Yeah, thats really credible. Your video guy spent a lot of time with the wackos, then marched to and attacked the other side with strange religious signs, in confrontational mode, and no conversation was expected or looked for. Just a weird attack. Jeez Louise…This is “journalism?” Attack your target with weirdos and inflammatory signs about tyranny and god…Yeah, thats really credible.

It is my understanding that “Organization for America”, is actually the one who announced a town hall meeting and when we showed up we were told a staffer would only be meeting with people one on one. We decided to go to the street with our signs while deciding whether to sign up up for one on ones. While we were there someone told us unless we had business at Town Hall then our cars would be ticketed. That’s when we decided to go into Town Hall and see what was going on and to find out when the Senator would be doing a town hall. Jeanne Shaheen only has “Organization for America” to blame for what happened and if she thinks a teleconference town hall will satisfy her constituent, she is wrong.

I see all too clearly that you and yours are drunk with the power you think you have obtained since 2008. What you and all the rest in DC need to reallize, is that the American people have awakened. We are sick and fed up with your lies and deciept and we are not going to tolerate any of it any more. You lied to obtain the office you now hold. You din't take the time or spend the effort to read these bills you have tried to ram down our throats. You attacked us for asking legitimate questions you should have had the answers to. And now, no one trusts you. And you have the inmitigated gall to be offended?????? How dare you!!!!!! You say we should be ashamed??? How dare you!!! YOU are the one who should be ashamed because WE are ashamed of you!!!!! You'll live to rue the day you ignored these "constituants" you now disdane and spout lies about. Your days in DC are numbered, and you will come to reallize that fact on election day. On the other hand,,, you probably won't see anything at all except the fact that the people don't want you araound any longer,,, and you'l mosst likely balem them for that too. After all, that's what the typical "sociopath" does when he or she get called out to be held accountable for their crimes. Anjoy it while it lasts because it's coming to an end when you try to fool the people once more into voting for your re-election. WE are the American people and you had better damn well go back and re-learn your history, you tyrant!!! Jeanne Jeanne Jeanne;
