I attended the Portantino bill hearing to day at the capitol, and it was only a going-through-the-motions event. They brought in the brady bunch and some false mouthpiece police sock puppets to give the scary what-will-be propaganda. Opposition was there, but were silenced. We were only allowed to identitfy ourselves and state a support or oppose. I argued for time, after all; it is a HEARING, and public comment is allowed. However that whiny little soup-nazi, Ammiano, kept interrrupting and demanded I comment only the way he wanted.
I left immediately, and Sam Parades motioned me to stay until after he was allowed his few seconds of public input. I'm thoroughly disgusted with the process as it is being administered by these elitist control freaks. I've been a supporter of the process as well as an active participant for a long time, but no more. It's a waste of time to attend them if all we are allowed is to shake our heads yes or no in favor of one side or the other, when those acting as mouthpeices for each side are still hand picked by those in the committee. It's farcical.
