More Politics At and IN Town Hall?

I mean, they actually went INSIDE Town Hall and protested Buerkle.

Why weren't these negative, political people stopped and censured!?!?

Why aren't letters written about them and unkind words spoken about them?

I commented on this one on the website because I found it highly hypocritical - one of the comments in the article.

They were protesting Buerkle because of her voting record and although she's not a registered member of the Tea Party - her vote against raising the debt ceiling aligns her with their politics.

....And the 90-something Democrats that voted right along with her against the debt ceiling must be aligned with Tea Party politics as well.

...And let's not forget in 2006 when EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT VOTED AGAINST RAISING THE DEBT CEILING because.....they must be aligned with Tea Party politics.

Obviously. They might have even invented it!

Why aren't they protesting out in front of their own Town Hall in Brighton?

It can't have anything to do with politics and wanting Republican Buerkle out and Democrat Maffei in. No. Nothing to do with politics at all.

Glad you folks at Town Hall are very choosey about what politics you allow and what politics you don't allow inside those walls. Great letter in the IPost too.

I can't wait to see the letter next week from this person scolding those political protestors who went into Town Hall and protested Buerkle. I mean, given the political climate today, electing a new Congressperson every two years is just disruptive and counter productive. Buerkle spent one year to really understand the job and then she must spend the second year campaigning to keep that job and in the end is unable to accomplish what she campaigned to do. If you are like this letter writer, and you think it is refreshing to live in a community where members of opposing political parties will put aside politics and cooperate with each other for the benefit of the voters, and, if you also agree that electionsevery two years for Congress members are needlessly expensive and time-consuming, then go to the polls and vote for cooperation and common sense.....right?
I bet she wants us to vote for Buerkle because....you know....it's not about politics. It's about what she....er...we want, and it's about moving the town and country forward with people who think and vote just like me!

Protest At Morelle's Office

I guess there was a protest at Morelle's Irondequoit office today about Mayoral Control of the City School District. Joe Morelle supports Mayor Duffy's quest to take over control of the City School District, and there are many people who don't agree with this proposal of Mayoral Control.

It seems the Rochester and Genesee Valley Area Labor Federation, AFL-CIO are some of those people. They sent out an "Action Alert" for the protest today, along with a very nice picture of Joe and Bob.





Here are a couple of pictures from the protest, as the crowd chanted "Oh Joe, say it aint so. Joe HAS TO GO!"
