139. You sound like a nice girl. You're probably embarrassed by those
who speak out and disrupt things. And of course that's your right. If I remember correctly, I do believe many people have been willing to die for that freedom.

But being quiet and polite is worth nothing if the message is not heard. Or heeded. Having little meetings that never see the light of day, smothered in politeness, nodding heads, empty promises....

what good does it do?

This Congress needs public shaming. It was wrong and continues to be wrong. Somebody needs to tell them REGULARLY AND LOUDLY.

And when the public hears about it -- EVEN THEY think about it.

It gets us thinking and talking.

It worked didn't it?

Would we be doing this if she politely met with some Dems in some office somewhere, out of the limelight so to speak?
