Ah, Democrats

It looks like Virginia's Tom Perriello isn't the only person in Congress who finds constituents to be a nuisance. It seems California's Dianne Feinstein had a handful of them removed from her West Los Angeles office after they refused to leave before she spoke with them. Senior citizens no less:

The healthcare debate really is getting ugly.

Police tricked a group of retirees who refused leave Sen. Dianne Feinstein's West Los Angeles office on Thursday.

The protesters demanded Feinstein talk to them about healthcare reform.

She wasn't having it, so police lured the seven protesters outside somehow and then locked the doors behind them, said Los Angeles police Sergeant Rich Brunson. [link]
A United States senator locking her doors to keep voters out. Doors that are owned by those voters, by the way. A metaphor of the times we live in.

We peasants have only one chance which is to make the August Recess into a nightmare for the congressional elites. That is, the ones who don't go on junkets to faraway places at our expense to avoid the heat from us rabble. We gotta give 'em hell at least through their staff flunkies who share their better health insurance program.
