more on proud mary...

I follow my congressperson on Facebook and when she posted the typical Republican bullshit about the shutdown and the deficit I called her on it... and much to my surprise, as I was making a followup comment, i got a little message that I was not authorized to commentShortly after that message , my comment disappeared. One person who directly addressed me in a comment, I contacted by direct message, and even he (Scott Pam) was shocked. So much for having free speech in this country. Does this mean I'm now on her watch list? I'm proud if that is what it is. I'm a veteran who served this country, I took an oath to defend this Constitution, and to have some staffer of my congressperson do what has been done to me is an insult to the whole system of government by the people. Seems I'l have to establsih another Facebook account to beat the embargo. So much for this being a democracy. I have my doubts how long we will have freedom is the Republicans have their way.

You should write a letter to the editor to your local newspaper (or to the paper in the major city in your district) and expose this. There is no excuse for this! Even John Cornyn doesn't do this kind of nonsense.

I'd let the TV stations know about this. Would make a great story.
