Senate Health Care Bill Protest
November 30, 2009 - Constituents Rally and Visit Senator Barbara Boxer's Office Riverside, CA
Senator Boxer's Staff Refused Petition & Constituent's Letter
After a rally - photos below - in front of Senator Boxer's office building, activists sought a meeting with Senator Boxer's Riverside Staff in her NEW Inland Empire Office. The office receptionist claimed that Senator Boxer's entire staff was out of the building in a meeting until 4pm. The office receptionist refused to take our petition and letter and called Security Guard Jerry, who informed us we were trespassing and escorted us to the elevator.
3 SHORT VIDEOS
1. Activists with a petition signed by constituents opposing the Senate Health Care Bill and amnesty as well as a constituent's letter enter Senator Boxer's office reception area. The office receptionist says no filming.

2. As constituents wait for the receptionist, who repeatedly entered the door that led to Senator Boxer's office, we requested to leave the petition and letter opposing the Senate Health Care Bill and amnesty at the reception desk. The receptionist refused to accept the petition and letter - called Security Guard Jerry.

ACTION TAKEN: SENATOR BOXER IS OUR PUBLIC SERVANT!
1. Federal law mandates that all federal offices keep an activity log. Via the Freedom of Information Act FOIA - we will seek the log for Senator Boxer's Riverside staff on 11/30/09. We suspect Senator Boxer's staff was in the Riverside office when the receptionist stated they were not in the building.
2. An official complaint - that Senator Barbara Boxer did not provide office staff to receive her constituents' petition and letter - has been filed with the Senate Rules Committee
http://rules.senate.gov/public/
A copy of the complaint has been forwarded to Senator Boxer's Washington, DC office.
3. Via the telephone, a request to schedule an appointment with the Riverside office staff has gone forward. When the meeting is scheduled, we will let you know as you are invited to attend.

Senator Boxer: NO vote on the Senate Health Care Bill & NO vote on amnesty legislation
Rally dog!
Passing motorists gave us thumbs up. One car filled with three elderly ladies - smilling - all three of them were giving the thumbs up in unison.
Not excessive horn honking - the positive responses were mainly hand gestures. We got one middle finger....and some motorists just blankly stared straight ahead. Some read the signs and responded by nodding the head YES.
After the rally, we ate down the block at Farmer Boys. A man rushed toward us - we thought he was angry - BUT he ended up thanking Dee and Penny (above with No Amnesty sign) profusely for rallying against Boxer and amnesty!
PETITION
A petition signed by constituents calls upon Senator Boxer to stage a health care town hall meeting, vote NO on the health care bill, vote NO to amnesty
Signing the petition
Above, an office worker passing by stopped to get information and signed the petition
The office receptionist and security guard refused to take the petition when it was presented to them. However, activists have contacted the Riverside staff and are seeking to schedule a meeting, at which time the petition will be hand delivered.
