No protest outside Rep. Martha McSally's office has had even a hint of violence. On the contrary, the protests there have been textbook examples of constituents exercising their Constitutional rights. Is there passion? Yes, because despite McSally's district voting by 5 percent for Hillary Clinton, McSally backs Trump over 95 percent of the time. When polls indicate only 17 percent of voters support the health care bill, she says she would vote for it. When voters are for common-sense gun control, she votes to allow the mentally ill to purchase guns. She does not represent us and for that it is not only our Constitutional right but our civic duty to speak out. No one that I know has used obscenities. Instead it is McSally who takes the low road, calling the health care bill she voted for, "this fucking thing." A congresswoman both crude and deaf to her constituents deserves to be the target of peaceful protests.
