Time to remember the past and what your representatives have done to you and the lies they have told.
The Union Leader sparked quite a controversy with their June 8 article which expressed outrage at the lack of contact three of our Congressional delegates had with their constituents this past Memorial Day break.
Under pressure of having had her photo placed on a milk carton, Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter was the only health care proponent who did finally meet with the public for a few very raucous meetings. However, Congressman Paul Hodes avoided his constituents at every turn and once even called the DC police to arrange to block protesters from a legal free speech gathering near where he was to appear in NH.
As for Senator Jeanne Shaheen, she committed one of the worst faux pas when about 80 constituents showed up at her Hampstead office hours and refused to take questions about health care reform and her only response was to put out a bogus press release which accused the protesters of NOT being her constituents but of being ‘organized groups’ and of somehow blocking her real constituents from getting ‘help’, which of course did not happen.
The truth of the matter with the Shaheen incident was that among the few supporters who did show up to counterprotest those constituents who were angry that she would not meet with them, was the famous Israel Pierre, an illegal immigrant ‘community organizer’ who works for ‘organized groups’ OFA or SEIU and similar left wing Soros-funded organizations that take to the streets for pay…and in this case had come up from Massachusetts.
The title of the press release was
“ORGANIZED GROUPS SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR INTIMIDATING CONSTITUENTS”
Protests Prevent New Hampshire Citizens from Getting Help”
Wow. Really? I guess this could be true if you consider that Israel and the gang were intimidating the tea party… but that is not what Shaheen meant to convey.
Senator Shaheen, we will say it again, you should be ashamed for printing such outright lies and exaggerations.
Sadly, Jeanne Shaheen’s press release showed that she is a pathetic liar.

It is hoped that this out and out lying and hypocrisy will be the final blow that keeps Ms Shaheen out of future politics forever — as someone who operates with this degrees of dishonesty should never be allowed to represent the people.
