1. In addition to all of the above
I would make sure there were copies of the GOP disruptor memo handed out to everyone in attendance. Might be interesting to see how well people respond to having their meetings disrupted by phonies and plants.

11. That's a great idea. I'd also inform the security/police at the event and show them the flyer.
Once they start disrupting, they will be removed fast. I'm not of the opinion that engaging these fools will actually do any good whatsoever. It's like trying to throw a brick through a rock wall. Their crazy needs to be shown in all its glory.

The flyer idea is really excellent. Well done!

28. Expose them for the phonies that they might be
We've learned they are busing in outsiders to pose as phony 'locals' to disrupt these meetings.

Let them sign in, and I hate to say this because it goes against what I believe, but maybe they should show their ID if things look hinky.

Set the ground rules as the meeting begins, and if they break the rules, then escort them out the door to a waiting cop. If anything, it is for the safety of our Congress members, and the citizens that they represent.

My dander still gets up thinking about those assholes that flew in to disrupt the Miami ballot counts in 2000.

22. Otherwise, oust them, make them PAY, $1,000,000 to get in
all monies will go to providing health care for poor and working poor.......if they don't agree....let them stand out in the rain.

10. They should have to prove that they live in the Congressperson's district.
If not, no entry.

9. We should use some GOP tactics to deal with disruptors.
They brought in squads of College Republicans to shout "USA! USA! USA!" to shout down protesters - that's a perfectly valid tactic. I'd suggest cheers like "HEALTH CARE NOW! HEALTH CARE NOW! HEALTH CARE NOW!" to shout the fuckers down.

14. Make a nice big sign that reads...
Get a BRAIN, MORANS!

No... Isolate them in a "free speech zone" where they can't be seen or heard.

No... Take away their parent's Medicare eligibility.

I could go on...

15. Just expose them for what they are
and a copy of the memo handed out ahead of time should do just that. It doesn't need to be turned into some form of performance art. Just simple, straight forward, tell it like it is with the memos will deflate the assholes pretty damn quick.

17. Restrict admittion to those who are residents of the town where the event is held.

No bussing in pod people from Freedom Works.

Also Congressman should ask all demonstrators
how much Freedom Works is paying them per hour
and whether they get a free boxed lunch with
their free Grey Hound ticket.
