Rep. Webster (R-FL) sent out 'watch list' of local (progressive) activists

"I think it's pretty weird. Someone asks a legitimate question, and all of the sudden somebody's got a dossier on you," said Orlando resident Ron Parsell, 66, one of the six named. "It's the type of thing they'd do in old Russia."

Webster's documents came to light when staff to U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin, R-Ark., circulated them at recent town-hall meetings in his home state, and The Huffington Post posted them online.

The documents include names and pictures of six Central Floridians — including Tamecka Pierce, head of the progressive Florida group Organize Now — as well as an internal document from another liberal organization, MoveOn.org, that spells out how to get attention at town hall meetings.

In an interview, Webster said his office received the MoveOn document from a constituent, whom he would not name, not long after one of his town meetings was disrupted by heated arguments between liberal activists and conservatives in the audience.



PLEASE, OH PLEASE, ALAN GRAYSON WIN NEXT YEAR!!!!
