The kind of protest I'd like to see

Large loud groups of protesters standing in front of the houses in the streets of these GOP lthugs who voted for the horrible bill and having them chant "murder, murder, murder" all day and night long.

When one sees them in their communities call them murders.

Let them really feel the rage of their actions from constituents. We have to make their lives a living hell even in their everyday life's when they live. Too bad we don't know their home addresses in DC or in their districts. Do it on the public sidewalk not on their properties. Even those who live in gated communities make it hard for them to escape this vote.

When people do it to Dem politicians the police say "Well they're on public property and they're not being violent so there's nothing we can do" and the media nods approvingly.

However if we staged a peaceful protest against Republican politicians there would be riot gear, tear gas and dogs out in force with the news commenting on "violent" protesters "clashing with police".
