This is what needs to happen more often with a LOT more politicians.
Which Side Are You On, Tom?
“You’re being sneaky,” one woman tells Wheeler. “You’re trying to sneak through ways that you can please both Comcast and fool the people into thinking with your whole language of ‘I support an open Internet.’ But no, you don’t support an open Internet, because you’re not siding with the people.”
“I have long stated [that] everything is on the table,” Wheeler replies. “I’m working on Title II solutions, and you are blocking my driveway, prohibiting my rights.”
The six protesters, who went to Wheeler’s house on Monday morning, were part of the activist group Popular Resistance. The video begins with Wheeler finding some of them sitting on his driveway, shortly before they unfurl a banner saying, “Save the Internet” directly behind his car and preventing him from leaving.
“I’m protecting your rights,” Wheeler tells one of them. “I’m working for your rights.”
Protesters continue to confront "Tom" for working more for Comcast and Big Business than for us common folk.

I welcome these sorts of actions. Our message isn't getting very far and the usual large protests - which I also support - are too often attacked by the police and smeared by the Liberal Conservative-controlled MSM.
Some, of course, will whine and complain that there is something wrong with this: I must totally disagree. This is exactly the next next steps in protesting the horrible shit planned for us. It has to affect those politicians involved PERSONALLY.
They need to get the message that people REALLY are upset. They SHOULD worry about LOTS of people being upset.
They should be upset enough to question their allegiences to Big Money and be a bit more concerned about the quaity of their life day to day.
Tom should be yelled at when he is seen in public. He should be inconvenienced repeatedly, slowed down in parking lots, he should get tired of coming home to people standing in his driveway. People should toss popcorn at him in movie theaters.
And not just him - all republicans, and probably a sizable percentage of Democrats as well. Every politician who sells us out because they have their face buried up Big Business's ass.
People did ask politely but the Powers That Be didn't want to listen.
God forbid they actually represent us properly.
