AFP-Maryland Demands Apology From Maryland Democratic Party

MDP Field Organizer purposely disrupts peaceful rally, harasses attendees-

ANNAPOLIS – The Maryland chapter of Americans for Prosperity is demanding an apology from the Maryland Democratic Party after an employee and several other cohorts attempted to hijack a “November Is Coming” Bus Tour rally in Salisbury on Thursday where the voting record of Rep. Frank Kratovil was to be discussed.  Chuck Cook, Field Organizer for the Maryland Democratic Party, burst into the restaurant, disrupted the peaceful rally, and harassed several attendees with video cameras.  Video of the harassment and disruption of the event can be seen HERE (video courtesy of http://www.monoblogue.us/).
“I guess the Maryland Democratic Party doesn’t believe in our right to peaceful assembly,” said AFP-Maryland state director Dave Schwartz.  “These folks, one of whom is an MDP employee and another dressed in a chicken costume, came to our event to deliberately disrupt and silence our message of economic freedom.  Members of AFP-Maryland felt as if their rights were violated.  We demand an apology from the Party for this harassment and a statement of re-commitment to the 1st Amendment of the Constitution to make sure this does not happen again.”
The event in question was part of Americans for Prosperity’s national “November Is Coming” bus tour.  As Rep. Frank Kratovil attempts to fashion himself as an “independent” member of Congress through television ads, we will continue to educate citizens about his votes for the failed economic Stimulus package that did not create enough jobs for the money, as well as his vote for a cap-and-trade energy tax that would dramatically increase utility costs for residents in the district.

Democrats have been the cause for civil war during the 1860's , I guess it's about time again. Time to take our Nation Under God back!!

This is why it's so important that Christine O'Donnell gets elected Senator in DE, 2:29.
Please spread the word thoughout DE and to any DE voters. This election is special in that the winner will be immediately seated (replacing Biden) and will be able to vote against any more of the Obama/Pelosi/Reid agenda the dems are likely to try and push through during the lame duck session following Nov 2. There's approximately 20 pieces of legislagtion (including cap and trade) they want in place before the expected Republican control of atleast the House.

Chuck Cook also got in Andy Harris's Face at the Crisfield Crab Derby. At the time I did not know who he was. This goes to show just how independent Frank Kratovil is when he uses DNC goons to do his dirty work. I also guess this is how he debates.

glad I missed this one, I would have without a doubt thrown each and every one of them out physically and Cook twice just for good measure.
