Let's do a national "Read-In" across the country
Brian Simpson on RedState suggested we take the Obama camp up on their offer to schedule meetings in congressional district office to talk health care.
But that's not enough
The message from the Left is we are engaged in loud, mindless street theatre and we don't understand the complexities of the various bills.
Sorry. Yes we do.
In the 1960's the preferred tactic of civil disobedience was the "sit-in". A group of nonviolent protesters would sit in a location until they were removed to make a point.
Let's improve on that. We know the members of Congress regularly vote on bills they don't read. We'll help them out.
Let's pick a weekday before the end of the month and have every congressional office in the nation presented with a contingent of well spoken critics of socialized medicine armed with a copy of HR 3200 or the Dodd senate health care bill. Demand to have the member join the group in a "read-in". If not the member, demand the district director. Go through the bill line by line and highlight all the objectionable parts of the bill. Demand an explanation for why the member would ever vote for a bill containing these provisions.
That's the National Read-in
If no one joins you from the member's staff, sit there and read the bill aloud to the receptionist. And make sure the local TV knows you are doing this.
Are the members going to have a group of people looking solely to enlighten them removed forcibly from their office? Are they going to play "Roger and Me" and duck their constituents? Are they going to call out muscle in purple shirts?
One message that resonates with moderates and independents is "Read the Bill". If the Pelosi Poodles won't do it themselves, we'll offer to do it for them.
Dunno, maybe the DNC will still find some way to call this evil. But I do not how they do that without repudiating both the civil rights movement and the 1960's antiwar movement.

So your suggestion is to do away with the administration's health care proposal? In its place you're going to recommend a "read-in" at the capitol? Interesting thought to say the least...if not twisted.
