Bay Area New Democrats Protest DeLay. Again
The Bay Area New Democrats greeted Tom DeLay and his small number of attendees at the grand opening of his Clear Lake office. The event was titled "The Snake in Clear Lake".
A number of people had called for weeks to find when this grand opening was to occur, but DeLay's office, up to the hour of the event, would just tell people "They were working on it". With just hours to go, our inside person was able to find out the daty and time and we russled (is that a word?) up a few Democrats to hold signs to greet the few people who attended.
Once we were noticed, DeLays goons called the Webster Police with 2 patrol cars, and 4 security officers from the building complete with tattoo filled arms, and goatees. They were quite a bunch to see.
One Webster Police copped an attitude after DeLay's goon ask him to confront us. He quickly lost the attitude once he realized he was being filmed.
Later members entered the reception area, but DeLay was no where to be found. It is believed he was avoiding interfacing with his "real" constituents. Those in attendance were the stuff shirt types. Many were on their knees kissing the ring of DeLay. (well, that really didnt happen, but it could have)
After an hour the place cleared out like roaches in the kitchen when the lights come on. How appropriate.
