Words to Live By – QotD
I got to the “public” townhall sponsored by Rep. Kathy Castor and the SEIU an hour and a half before the doors were scheduled to open. Apparently, it would not have mattered when I arrived. We stood out in the 90 plus degree weather only to be told that that the hall had been filled through a side door and no one else would be let in.
The crowd surrounded the building. We stood in front of every door and window and chanted “just say no” and “live or die”. The crowd was well behaved but really worked up. I heard several people say that there were three thousand people outside. I can’t confirm it but I certainly don’t doubt it.

I am upset, like everyone else that showed up, that we were locked out of what was supposed to be a public meeting. On the other hand, I am really proud of my fellow citizens. We represented every age group, every race and ethnic group. Rep. Kathy Castor made it clear that she doesn’t represent us. That is okay. Next election, we will find someone who does.

RTWT. It’s a pretty interesting first-hand (“Primary Source”) account of the Tampa hijinx.
