GOP NY Rep. Nan Hayworth’s office calls the police on seniors
FISHKILL — Police were called to the Fishkill office of U.S. Rep. Nan Hayworth today after dozens of constituents tried to meet with the lawmaker’s staff without appointments.

Shortly after noon, the privately owned building’s management called Fishkill town police to turn away visitors who did not have appointments with the Republican congressowman’s staff, according to Nat Sillin, Hayworth’s communication’s director.

However, staff did meet with about 50 individuals who did not have appointments inside the office and with more outside the building, he said. About 30 cars were turned away, he said.

But Fishkill resident Sharon Morgese said some constituents, many of them senior citizens, were barred from entering the building and did not meet with the congresswoman’s staff.

5. Well she finnally has a challenger............
A Westchester County heart doctor has filed papers to become the first Democrat officially planning to challenge Republican Rep. Nan Hayworth for office next year.

Dr. Richard Becker, a 57-year-old Cortlandt Manor resident and founder of a cardiology practice there, said Tuesday that he will likely test the political waters for a few months but fully expects to run for New York's 19th Congressional District seat in 2012.

"Unless something comes along that is surprising to me, I think we are going to move forward," Becker said.

6. Hey, check this out. I just found it, read the last two, phrases in the sentence.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

7. They are just lucky she didn't send them to the gas chamber...
I wonder if she's related to Hog Head Hayworthless of Arizona?
