NEWSFLASH


Liberal activist groups CALPIRG and Fund for the Public Interest have both posted ads in Craig’s list to recruit paid protestors that are meant to “out-shout’ the opponents of healthcare reform and the climate bill.

Since the Government has revised it’s characterization of healthcare opponents to that of “a loosely organized group of individuals” it is safe to say that they have backed away from their initial claims that this was manufactured anger brought about by special interest or the Republican Party and have acknowledged the legitimacy of their concerns and comments.

Now the real manufactured anger is entering the field and has blatantly posted ads promising salaries for those that would protest loudly in favor of these two major pieces of legislation. This is an open attempt to silence the voices of the people airing their legitimate concerns before their own legislators by infiltrating these meetings with paid participants that are not citizens within the districts where these protests will be launched.

The ads can be viewed at”

Just in case these ads curiously dissappear once the light of day has illuminated their intent, I have taken the precaution of copying them to a word file and I have them safely archived. This my friends, is vigilance in action.
