March 9 - Mass Citizens' Arrest of Insurance Companies - Washington DC (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7819488)

March 9th - Washington, DC


We need your help to conduct a
MASS CITIZENS' ARREST
-- of the --
INSURANCE COMPANIES


The insurance industry's lobby front group is back in DC to defend their criminal health care system and plot to kill health reform. Reform groups are gathering a citizen's posse to hold them accountable for their crimes against Americans' health -- and make sure Congress passes reform now.

We need Congress to listen to us, not the insurance companies. We won't allow another year of 45,000 deaths and a million bankruptcies. Our health and our future are too important to let the insurance giants continue with business as usual.

I'm sure this'll be just as effective as "Not One Damn Dime Day" and the litany of other failed protest ideas.

How do you arrest insurance companies? Guess you can try to arrest the people that work there, but I think one of two things may happen.

A. Get shot, stabbed, beat the **** up, etc.

B. Spend a portion of your life in Club Fed for false imprisonment or kidnapping.

Go ahead DUmmies.

How do you arrest insurance companies?

That was my first thought as well.

I'd like to know what criminal action they intend to cite for arrest.

Only thing that comes to mind for me is the storming of The Very Big Corporation of America by the Crimson Permanent Assurance.........

How about arresting the regulators and politicians who are responsible??

I guess that would take intelligence.

Hmmm...let's see here: the insurance companies LOBBIED Congress. Congress PASSED INTO LAW these so called "crimes against humanity".
Essentially, it was CONGRESS whom made it LEGAL to practice these "crimes against humanity".
Therefore, in the peanut mind of a DUmmy, the insurance companies should be prosecuted for LAWFULLY conducting their business as determined by Congress.

They aren't called DUmmys for nothing.

If this protest happens the way most lefty protests happen, then there might be a mass citizens arrest, of the violent protesters.

The answer is to take power away from the government to pass laws that regulate economic activity in any way.

It would be just as, if not more, successful if it were a virtual mass citizens arrest.

This reminds me of when Gomer tried to arrest Barney.

45,000?  Isn't the number of people killed by medical mistakes pegged at about 100,000 per year?  Sounds like you're twice as well off with the insurer screwing you instead of the doc doing it!

45,000?  You're just as likely to die on the road on the way to the hospital as you are after you get there.

The Little Goons are aware death is a part of natural life, aren't they?  It does happen no matter how hard we try.  More than a quarter of a million Americans die each year.  

If the Little Goons really want to improve health care in this nation, they might want to start with the health of tiny unborn black babies in every Planned Parenthood storefront across American.  They have about a 100% mortality rate.  Even if one goes out alive, the Little Goons have a 100% improvement about in which to boast.

I wonder if I can get a job as a security guard for an insurance company in that short a time...

They want to hold off death because even though they loudly proclaim their atheism, it's like whistling in the dark--it makes noise, may make you feel better, but doesn't protect you from the reality.

They want to hold off death because even though they loudly proclaim their atheism, it's like whistling in the dark--it makes noise, may make you feel better, but doesn't protect you from the reality.

Whistling in the dark also does another thing--it makes your adversary aware of your presence.  This is also not a good thing, as said adversary also knows where you are, not just that you exist.
