Update October 18, 2009: The Union Leader finally figures it out..
In this Op Ed, they state:
Opposition to Manchester’s spending cap is being underwritten by left-wing donors from Berkeley, Calif., and New York City, in the name of an organization that appears to be operating illegally. If Manchester’s constant tax increases were not enough to anger city voters, that should do the trick. The state Attorney General’s Office needs to investigate this group to see if it is, as it seems, operating in violation of state law, and whether its city campaign finance reports are proper.
In earlier posts we’ve shown you proof that many attendees at these protests are paid agitators who are not even from the district or the state.
In the following video, we see the vast network paid radical left-wing agitators (some using money gleaned from our tax dollars) which are being used to infiltrate and destroy NH at all levels.
What you are looking at is a Manchester NH Spending Cap informational meeting for residents at which Granite State Progress disenfranchises voters and thwarts democracy.
Zandra Rice Hawkins, resident of Goffstown NH and staffer with Granite State Progress, represents “Keep Manchester Moving”, a group comprising labor union officials and MoveOn.org radical Josiette White.
Zandra Rice Hawkins, Josiette White, their radical left-wing groups, aided by labor union officials try to disenfranchise the voters of Manchester NH and thwart the democratic process by blocking a spending cap proposal from reaching the ballot.
In this video you can discover who is behind the large Obama poster with the mustache and you can observe previously outed organizer Israel Pierre from Massachusetts, recording the event.
Thanks to GraniteGrok.com for the second video and the story at their website.
Also, according to a recent Drew Cline blog post about one of Shea-Porter’s forums, 24-year old Derek Lemire ‘in the purple shirt’ refused to tell Drew where he lived.
After an attempt to infiltrate our eblast, it was easy to find out that Derek lives in Northfield and is a paid regional organizer for NH For Health Care (part of Americans for Health Care, a project of the SEIU) as well as affiliated with an additional string of astroturfed groups such as Health Care for America Now, Employee Free Choice Act, SEIU, Change That Works, and a friend of John Thyng of Deering, another “career” astroturfer.
Here also is another amazing article that ties in and wraps up just who provides the funding for much of this left-wing activism.
