Titus Presents Health Care Public
Option While Hiding Behind Shopping Carts
Dear Friends of Liberty:
The Clark County Republican Party calls
upon Congresswoman Alice Constandina Titus to face the
people in a real townhall, and let the truth be spoken
and heard!
Congresswoman Titus planned and attended
her strange version of a townhall meeting yesterday
at the Albertson's on Boulder Highway. She may have
thought she was doing something good for her constituents,
but Congresswoman Titus was cloistered and shielded.
At least she is consistent with her fellow Democrats,
in refusing to have a legitimate townhall on health
care during the Congressional recess. A legitimate townhall,
the townhalls of our founding fathers, the townhalls
conducted by Republican legislators, the townhalls conducted
recently by KDWN's Heidi Harris, KXNT, and Republican
candidates Danny Tarkanian and Joe Heck, involve standing
in a great hall face to face with the people you care
about, unlimited numbers, and fielding questions and
giving answers for all to hear, and for all to learn.
Unfortunately, Titus is not interested in advancing
the discussion, or knowledge. She is not interested
in debate. She is not interested in hearing or conveying
the truth. Titus, aka "Alice," and her deluded
liberal friends, were confused about the "tea parties,"
and now reality is still out of reach.
On Saturday Titus shirked the halls -
and found refuge in the shopping cart garage of the
Albertsons. A chance to ask the Congresswoman a question
was limited to a select few - those who first stood
in line to get a ticket, and then stood in line for
a brief chance to be heard, only to receive a response
that was not shared with the people. This is an outrage.
Our government is metastasizing in a most frightening
way, like a cancerous growth sucking out our liberties
and abilities to earn a living, and our Democrat representatives
are hiding from the people.
One wonders whether the Congresswoman
needs help finding a convention hall. I would think
that is no problem in Las Vegas, Convention Capitol
of the world. Oh - but wait, Obama and Reid have probably
scared any self-respecting Democrat from wanting to
show any sign of support to any Las Vegas convention
hall. All she has to do is ask, and I am sure we can
help the Congresswoman come up with a place to have
a real townhall.
When Titus arrived, a concerned Nevadan
asked why Titus would keep the Congressional health
care plan and elect not to accept the same health care
plan that she is trying to foist upon the people. Titus
refused to answer. I guess she is better than us; or
she knows her position lacks integrity; or maybe she
was afraid of anybody who did not have a ticket.
The Titus supporters were no more genuine
than their leader. Half the size of the pro-liberty
crowd, the Titus supporters shamefully pranced in disrespect
of the American Flag. Titus supporters chanted with
unpatriotic glee to us - - "Hide Behind Your Flag,
Hide Behind Your Flag, Hide Behind your flag,"
as if the American Flag was some kind of despotic symbol,
or that the principles it stood for - liberty, freedom,
equality - were things to be despised.
Indeed, while we all waved dozens of American
Flags with pride, not a single flag was to be seen on
the Titus side of the street, at least for the first
hour until we pointed that out to them, and someone
apparently went inside the Albertson's to go buy a flag.
Titus should have rebuked her supporters
for the lies they were spewing. They carried professionally-made
signs that read: "83% Love the Public Option."
And yet, despite this obvious nonsense, they had the
gall to shout us down with their chant of "no more
lies." Something is very wrong with this country
when our legislators are forcing us to blindly accept
an unconstitutional government run health care program,
in complete disregard for the cost, in complete disregard
for the will of the people, and without any legitimate
attempt to allow the free and open debate on the issues.
Don't expect Titus to obtain a dose of
reality anytime soon. She has already shown her propensity
towards voting for excessive and oppressive taxes when
she joined Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other liberals in
the House of Representatives in support of the Cap and
Trade tax, regarded by experts to be the most expensive
piece of legislation in the 233 year history of our
great nation.
As for recent press reports that the pro-liberty,
anti-public option, protestors are an angry raucous
disruptive mob - that is far from the truth. This was
a peaceful demonstration, with concerned Nevadans expressing
their First Amendment rights to ask Congresswoman Titus
to show herself and listen to our view that we don't
want the government to control our health care system
or our health care choices.
Towards Liberty,
