But I’m highly inclined to visit his office and picket a day or two during the recess.

I think that’s a large part of it. He doesn’t want to be yet another Democrat congressman stumbling for words and looking like an idiot on a YouTube video.

Is it me, or is this a real obvious attempt by Democrat leadership to prevent reps who are on the fence from hearing from their constituents?

All of the protests I have been to have been respectful and non-violent, even with “community agitators” attempting to start a fight.

And that protesters are paid by the insurance industry? If they had the money, they really should get better signs with a coordinated message. Or at least use the money they are paid to get a babysitter, there are a lot of kids at these things.

I am hopeful that the American people will see where the lies are coming from and how blatant they are.

If I were one of Congressman Brian Baird’s constituents, I’d would send him a postcard. I am a great believer in post card correspondence. Ordinary mail in envelopes has to go through an extensive security check, but a simple post card will transit the House of Representatives mail system much more quickly.

A nice thing about a post card is that the limited writing space makes you state your thoughts simply and succinctly. This is probably the best way to communicate with Rep.Baird since he is afraid of the people in his district. I’m not in his district, but I think I’ll give him my opinion anyway.

Herr Baird is a coward and sadly my Congressman. I believe Herr Baird is more of a Washington DC Congressman than a Washington state Congressman and hopefully we’ll get a chance to fire Herr Baird next year..

Isn’t it funny how progressives always seem to see their own evils in everyone else. Or is this some Orwellian effort to double speak and deflect criticism by blaming the people first.

This has to be what if felt like to live in Germany in the mid 1930′s

Speaking of protest signs—-I think it would be great to carry a sign with Hillary Clinton’s photo on it and her eloquent, dignified words:

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you are not patriotic, and we should stand up and say, “We are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration.””

…And has a Cook PVI index of “Even”.
(In fact, WA-2 is a similar district, though somewhat more democratic than WA-3.)

I’d say this is one guy that could possibly be sent packing with the right combination of incumbent arrogance (keep it coming Brian!), national mood, and solid GOP challenger.

Looks like the WAGOP should get cracking….

Fascism

2. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
2. Oppressive, dictatorial control.

I feel like Jack Nicholson in telling these libs: “You can’t handle the truth!”

Why are voters angry? Why would citizens rise up to practice their God given right to free speech and to petition our government? One big reason is the snide, condescending way people in power in the Democratic Party treat us! They don’t take our anger seriously! There must be something wrong with US!!! NO!!! It is the government, being held hostage by a bunch of elitist, snobbish fools, that is wrong!!!

The more the Democratic leaders and their special interest cronies chastise us for our anger, the angrier we will get!!!!

The ‘brown shirts’ are the liberals, NOT the peacefull protesters!
We have to get rid of these fools next election – approx 16 months away.

that should give him plenty of time to read and digest the bill, right?

Or is he off on a “fact-finding” mission to somewhere that just HAPPENS to be a great vacation resort like Congresscritters tend to do.
