Visiting Allen Boyd's Office in Panama City, FL

Tea Partiers and supporters gathered outside Rep. Allen Boyd's office in the downtown Panama City Federal Building today. Weather was great. Time was off - noon to 1 p.m. But we knew there were many others who couldn't be there. That's OK. You were with you in spirit.
We are protesting taxes, Obamacare, the takeover of our government by socialist/communist/progressive/marxists/Stalinist/fascists and a man with no real past, who have invaded the halls of the White House and Congress.
Cars honked, signs were carried, Burnie Thompson and Doc Washburn, two local radio talk show hosts, were there.
The tv stations were there.
Images will be loaded here later. Got my arm in a sling. But they'll be here.

Tonight I had the pleasure of seeing a citizen patriot coup on a Representative
Allen Boyd, (D-FL) one of the Blue Dogs who didn't vote for Obamacare (I have a feeling he wanted to avoid a confrontation among his constituents), finally relented and gave us the honor of a town meeting. He had to do this to placate us here in Bay County, after he so rudely left town because we'd gathered over a thousand people on the grounds of Gulf Coast Community College where he was supposed to speak last August on a very hot day. It wasn't really a town meeting then - it was a controlled meeting with tickets in advance and screened questions, moderated by media personnel. But again, he canceled.
So tonight we peons in Bay County got our revenge. On a rainy night, the results of the tail end of Tropical Storm Ida, I guess we really did show him our collective ass.
We pretty darned near filled the bleachers on one side of the gym, and half of the other side. He began taking two questions from each section. We nailed him time and time again.
We had to sit through admonishments to be polite - his rules. We listened to questions that got no answers. We sat through his rudeness, and at one point, he nearly pulled an older gentleman, a veteran I believe, down the steps trying to remove the microphone from his hands. He was so rude and so disdainful that he was a disgrace. But aren't they all? He decided not to answer questions and that's when we decided to walk out.
We heckled, we stood and applauded, we sat and applauded, threw in an occasional "boo" and heard him tell, despite a terrible sound system, lie after lie, evade questions, and in some cases, turn away while people were still talking, showing us a degree of disrespect we will not soon forget.
One of our medical professionals gave a lot of background on his practice, insurances and just about called Boyd a liar. This fellow knew names of staff he had given information to and was never given the courtesy of a return call or letter. He is an ex-Marine. He made us proud with his knowledge, professionalism and tenacity. I was sitting two seats away when Boyd just turned his face away and continued down the line.
Two more questions and I saw one man head for the doors, stopping to speak with Burnie Thompson, our early morning talk show host. Burnie was standing throughout the meeting at the back of the gym, shaking his head. He is a passionate lover of freedom, liberty and the Constitution.
I started to leave, turned around and there were people following me in a trickle. Then there was a rush for the doors. Some of us gathered in the lobby.
We had done something quite significant. We turned our backs, literally, on our so-called elected Representative. After you are in office, re-elected many times over, feel like you're so secure NO ONE will ever unseat you, and you start sweet talking your constituents when they are informed and aware and get this treatment, it must be like a kick in the gut. I think he knows he's dog meat.
He lost control of us. He is no longer in control here in Bay County. We were finished with him "Sshhhing" our senior women, and ignoring the issues. We were disgusted with his behavior.
I just saw him on television after the meeting. He looked drained. The reporter asked how he felt with people leaving "like that", and all he could muster was some sort of doublespeak followed by "I respect that." But he also said he felt our anger.
You can say that again, Boyd. I hope that tomorrow he will ask his staff to start collecting packing boxes because he's not going to make another term.
You will not, Allen, lie to us anymore. We will not allow it. And you will do nothing to harm our country. One small vote is nothing to crow about. You are not the head honcho, the top banana,
the big cheese, the only rooster in the coop. You are not going to dispense bull pastries anymore to an informed constituency.
But you will, I'll wager, vote for that Obamanation called Obamacare in the next round. But then soon after you will no longer be a Congressman. Steve Southerland will take care of that. He's going to replace you.
Shame on you, Allen old boy.
Bye, bye Boyd.
PS: To help all of them pack, I suggest we donate a small amount of peanut packing material in small containers, packed tight so that your Congressional weasel will get the hint. Staff can put them in a big plastic garbage bag with that packs a huge carbon footprint, and when the boss gets unelected, they can put them to good, green use. Waddya think?

EVERY US CITIZEN SHOULD BE READING THIS TONIGHT!
This is an excellent reminder to all elected officials. We are going to hold you accountable for your flagrant denial and usurpation of our Constitutional rights and your absolute denial of the promises you made to God and country when you took this solemn oath of office.
There are remedies given to the people that you cannot take from us. If you try, we will fight to keep our country safe from the corruption and the enemy within. The Constitution and before that, the Declaration of Independence give a rock solid answer to the questions of the citizens as to how.
We have a national memory, and that memory is beginning to burn hot as people see what you are doing in plain sight.
Lawmakers should abide by their oaths
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
I hope those words look familiar to Congressman Allen Boyd and Sens. Bill Nelson and George LeMieux. That is their oath of office. They invoked God as they swore this oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Would they consider people who are actively working to overthrow the government of the United States of America as domestic enemies? When senior government officials work to overthrow democracy and replace it with socialism, isn’t that contrary to our Constitution? Haven’t they sworn that they would take a stand to defend the Constitution from these enemies?
President Obama, many of his closest advisers and the vast majority of the left-wing congressional Democrats (and some Republicans) are actively engaged in a concerted effort to institute practices that are patently anti-American, unconstitutional and blatantly socialist. The TARP bill is unconstitutional. The stimulus bill is unconstitutional. The takeover of the financial industry is unconstitutional. The takeover of the automobile industry is unconstitutional. The cap-andtrade bill passed by the House is unconstitutional. The health care bill, if passed, would be unconstitutional.
In fact, with the exception of the bills to fund the Department of Defense, nearly every single piece of legislation passed by Congress and signed into law for the past two decades (a very conservative estimate) is unconstitutional.
We the people have slept through the unconstitutional practices of the federal government for far too long. I’m sure Boyd, Nelson and LeMieux heard much of our dissatisfaction in the August town hall meetings. Our nation desperately attempted to get their attention on Sept. 12 with our march on the Capitol. We need for them to take a stand now against these unconstitutional practices. We need for them to take a stand against socialism. We need for them to discharge the duties of their office.
Sitting idly by is unacceptable. Inaction is consent. They swore an oath to us. They swore an oath to God. Now we hold them to their oath. Stand by it — or stand aside.

Bay County and the panhandle of Florida says NO TO REP. ALLEN BOYD and OBAMA

In an unprecedented show of community involvement, Constitutional rights to freely gather and redress our government with our grievances, and show our resentment for US Congressman Allen Boyd (D-FL), Gulf Coast Community College hosted over 1,000 people, not including children last night.
To help estimate the crowd, and to insure that the media would accurately report it, a copy of the healthcare bill - all 1,012 pages - were distributed, one copy to each adult. There were approximately 200 left without a page. I read mine. Whoever was responsible for this gibberish should be yanked from the human race. We don't talk like this. It was unintelligible, and so were all the other pages I glanced at. If you don't believe me, it is available in its entirety in another entry.
They came in cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and in one instance, a small car was pushed by another into a parking space from the road.
Rep. Allen Boyd, who previously promised the residents of Bay County a panel discussion in Amelia Hall to be attended by 500 ticket holders instead of a town hall meeting, canceled it late last week. His aide said he would not tolerate being yelled at. Another, Jerry Smithwick told a caller that "You do not tell Congressman Boyd what to do; he tells you what to do." And although he was in Panama City, Boyd refused to attend this traditional town hall, saying he knew the citizens of Bay County, and to the organizers, Derrell Day, President of Bay Patriots, and Burnie Thompson, local talk show host, his parting words were, "Have fun."
Boyd is wrong about Bay County and the panhandle residents who traveled to this event, who made and brought signs; who, because of the college reneging on the sound system and the prohibition of a bull horn, stood with a posterboard cone and spoke to the enthusiastic crowd by turn. One speaker was approximately 12 years old with a well prepared and thoughtful minute-long speech.
An effigy of Boyd was produced and it sat on a pickup truck bed which became the podium, and the grim reaper, who delivered a speech, wore a sandwich board.
T-shirt sellers set up a booth, and Bay Patriots grilled hotdogs for the crowd. Youngsters distributed bottled water to those standing on US98 with signs with instructions, "Ladies first".
Tea Partiers, Bay Patriots, motorcycle clubs, families and individuals with no organizational affiliation, independent citizens, politicians, physicians, nurses, a dentist, military members and veterans, and political hopefuls, were there. People in wheelchairs and people with walkers and some in braces were there. Some brought lawn chairs and sat before the makeshift podium.
They signed petitions against the healthcare bill, left messages on a roll of white paper, wrote questions in a log, all to be delivered to Boyd. They also signed up ballot eligibility forms for a candidate to run against him.
But where were the local elected politicians?
WHY WAS BOYD SUCH A COWARD TO TELL US THAT HE WILL HOLD A TOWN HALL MEETING IN OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER, WHEN THE OBAMACARE BILL OR ONE OF THE FIVE PROPOSED BILLS, WILL LIKELY ALREADY BE PASSED. And remember, Boyd is a proponent of the death tax.
DO WE REALLY WANT TO VOTE HIM IN AGAIN?
Last night we turned his rock over and exposed his tender cockroach belly.
Allen - It's time you cleaned up your desk because as we network throughout Florida to expose you, we'll have the power to fire you. You have made millions in farm subsidies on our backs; you are arrogant, rude and uncommunicative to your constituents. You are on a power trip and have forgotten who put you in office.
I will post a collection of photos later. You may see yourself.
