Awesome post! Very well written.

I bring something relevant to the table. An FB acquaintance of mine works in regulatory affairs for the state of California so she’s always dealing with legislative hearings and lobbyists and all that jazz. She posted this article to her FB feed today:

‘Stalking’ of pro-vaccine lobbyists prompts warning from doctors’ group http://t.co/gbpg1qpllh pic.twitter.com/e1iL9QanTj

“Your video instructing people to stalk the lobbyists has the potential to turn an already volatile situation into an explosive one with very grave consequences,” the CMA’s letter to Stenzler says, directing him to halt “all activities that could incite, lead to, or result in harm to CMA employees or others involved in the SB 277 debate and to send a strong message to your members and your constituents to do the same.” The letter from the doctors group warns it will take “all necessary action to protect our employees and representatives.”

In a police report filed last week, the CMA depicted a hostile climate with the potential for violence, echoing reports of lawmakers receiving threats from bill critics. Following of “a number of online threats and threatening activity aimed at our employees” and “a consistent pattern of irresponsible rhetoric that results in statements threatening harm, or encouraging harassment or stalking of our employees,” the report says, the medical group has begun locking their doors during SB 277 hearings and having staff travel in pairs.
