7. Holy shit! She's been encouraging people to attend their town halls and even

had people calling in to role play with her. Jesus. This needs to get WIDE media attention. Think I'll e-mail Rachel and Ed about this.

8. Know what kills me about the townhalls where people are

questioning the republicans about the Ryan budget? They are not boisterous mob scenes with people shouting. People aren't showing up armed. Yet people are being removed from townhalls, arrested and asked to submit questions that need to be pre-approved.

What the hell is going on here?

11. well it doesn't look good for this to be happening. when they did it for healthcare

it was a propaganda thing orchestrated by the people who like things the way they are. but this is people who truly aren't happy with what the republicans are trying to do. pretty soon we will see a more orchestrated effort to make it look like people love this idea.

what i would like to know is how we can get the people's budget discussed. the MSM is completely ignoring it and acting as if ryan's plan and the dem plan is the only option.

Talk personality Nicole Sandler arrested at a Florida Town Hall meeting

Former Miami WINZ-AM (940) and Air America talk show host Nicole Sandler was arrested at a meeting held by recently-elected Rep. Allen West in Ft. Lauderdale. Sandler, who currently hosts an internet radio show, was with a group of people questioning West's stance of the GOP-proposed budget that would change Medicare. Some were reportedly speaking loudly in replay to some of West's comments. At one point in a video taken during the meeting, you can see Sandler being escorted out of the meeting. Immediately after, Sandler was heard on the video asking for a police officer's name and badge number, and when the officer attempted to lead her out of the building, Sandler said loudly, "Get your hand off of me." at that point, the officer takes hold of Sandler's arm and handcuffs her. Sandler was arrested, charged with Trespassing After Warning. You can watch Sandler's arrest here.
