Hired goons not appreciated<\/strong><\/p>\n

To the editor: Reports of recent polls tell us that a large majority of Americans oppose Obamacare, preferring a revised health-care system that is not run by the federal government. Then, I ask, just who are these people who show up at rallies to voice support for Obamacare?<\/p>\n

I think I found the answer last week.<\/p>\n

On July 17, Americans all across the nation gathered at over 250 local Congressional offices to peacefully voice their objections to the Democrats’ health-care bill. I attended one such event with 40 other taxpayers, outside the offices of Rep. Carol Shea-Porter and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in Dover.<\/p>\n

We were immediately obstructed by a bunch of guys wearing purple SEIU (Service Employees International Union) T-shirts. They shouted and harassed us for the hour, refused to speak with us, and as soon as we left, they dispersed. <\/p>\n

The next day at the Exeter Independence Festival, I noticed a familiar face delivering materials to Carol Shea-Porter’s tent \u2014 one of the purple-shirt guys from the day before. His car had a Massachusetts license plate. Later, I had a chance to speak with him. Yes, he recognized me. I learned that he is from Trinidad, he is not a citizen, and that he is paid to do this “volunteer” work.
\n<\/strong>
\nSimilar bands of SEIU “volunteers” were present at every New Hampshire rally location on July 17.<\/p>\n

I wonder whose money is actually paying for these “volunteers?” And isn’t it a sad state of affairs that those who are supposed to represent us in serious issues such as our health and welfare \u2014 life and death decisions \u2014 appear to be associated with such an operation?<\/p>\n

It was a shocking lesson.<\/p>\n
