The USA Patriots Send Congressman Dan Boren a Message

Small in numbers though loud in message USA Patriots positioned themselves along curb outside of District 2 Congressman Dan Boren’s office on Friday afternoon.

The group of 11 lined the roadway displaying signs sending a message to motorists and hopefully letting Boren know the group’s position on a variety of issues. Boren was not in his Claremore office.

“We’re non-profit, non-partisan, non-denominational,” said Cris Kurtz, one of the organizers of the protest.

“We want Dan Boren to know we want no amnesty, no government abortion, in general to vote no on changing healthcare.”

Kurtz and her husband, Mike are from Tulsa. They helped organize the Tea Party at LaFortune Park earlier this year.

They have invited all elected Oklahoma officials to attend a Tea Party on Aug 30th at Prairie Rose in Tulsa.

“We want to have a real Tea Party,” Cris Kurtz said. “No yelling, but reasonable talk.”

The USA Patriots issued a press release saying it had made attempts to get a face to face meeting with Boren. When they were unable to get one scheduled the group decided to come to his office and protest.

“Even if and when you are small, you are mighty if you do something for your country,” she said.

Boren, who held three town hall meetings earlier this week, has made it very clear he will vote no on the current healthcare reform bill being discussed.
