Holiday Inn Abruptly Ejects Progressive Groups Who Reserved Space For Jobs Rally In Same Hotel As Cantor Event<http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/09/01/309923/holiday-inn-abruptly-ejects-progressive-groups-who-reserved-space-for-jobs-rally-in-same-hotel-as-cantor-event/>

Progressive groups organizing a rally at the same Richmond-area hotel where House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) was holding an event Wednesday were abruptly kicked out of the hotel and told by hotel management to remain off of its property during Cantor's event.
Cantor held an Advisory Council gathering, closed to the media but open to constituents who registered ahead of time, at the Holiday Inn Koger Center in Richmond. A coalition of progressive Virginia organizing groups - Progress Virginia, OurDC, and Virginia Organizing - had booked rooms and a separate ballroom in the hotel to hold a "jobs rally" countering Cantor's event. According to organizers, the groups planned to invite Cantor to attend their rally after his own event, in the hope that he would listen to their concerns regarding job creation and unemployment.
But just hours before the events were set to begin, the Holiday Inn canceled the groups' ballroom and room reservations and ordered the groups to remain off of hotel property during Cantor's meeting. According to organizers, hotel management falsely accused them of smoking in their rooms and used that as justification to cancel their reservations. A representative of Holiday Inn who only agreed speak on the condition of anonymity, however, said the hotel was seeking to avoid confrontation between the progressive groups and those attending the Cantor event. He would not comment on whether the hotel had any communications with Cantor or his staff regarding the progressive groups.
Attempts to reach both Cantor's office and Holiday Inn's corporate offices for comment prior to publication were unsuccessful. In an interview<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lgh-8BWQJ8&feature=player_embedded> with a local news station, Cantor acknowledged that he saw the protesters but said, "I don't see how that's productive. ... (It was) a very productive event. I'm not quite so sure how that was productive outside."
After their reservations were canceled, the progressive groups assembled across the street and began marching to the hotel, where they were met by Virginia state police officers and hotel management demanding that they remain off Holiday Inn property. The protesters remained assembled between the Holiday Inn and the street, where they held signs protesting Cantor's record on job creation and his legislative priorities and chanted that they wanted Cantor to focus on jobs. Multiple protesters told stories of their unemployment over a megaphone as police and hotel management looked on.
The protesters then marched back across the street, out of sight from the hotel, and held a rally similar to the one they had planned inside the hotel, with more stories of unemployment and hardship brought on by the economic recession. Watch video of the march:
According to police, who said they were only enforcing the Holiday Inn's wishes to keep the protesters off of private property, there were no arrests during the protests.

Constituents Turned Away From "Public" Meeting Take Their Message Outside
After An August Recess With Zero Public Meetings, Hundreds of Constituents Turn Out to Make Rep. Cantor Address the Jobs Crisis

RICHMOND, Va. - In an increasingly rare appearance in his district, Rep. Cantor was met with more than 200 of his constituents who are angry with their congressman about his inattention to the jobs crisis, his brinkmanship on the debt ceiling deal and his controversial stance on disaster funding.
With no end to the jobs crisis in sight and growing discontent after a debt deal that will lead to further job losses, unemployed workers and community members in Rep. Cantor's district have grown tired of Rep. Cantor avoiding them by holding seldom public events or town halls.
His constituents took their concerns to him at his private quarterly Citizens Advisory Council meeting in Richmond on Wednesday. The campaign event, while described by Rep. Cantor as a "public event," required constituents to jump through several hoops to attend. Candace Graham of Chesterfield was able to attend the event in spite of the hurdles.
"I only saw the event listed on the Tea Party website and that's how I knew it was happening. After signing up for the Advisory Council, you had to know to call his staff so that they put you on the list since no event information was actually sent out," said Graham. "Our leaders in Washington work for us and we should not have to go to such lengths to be able to ask them a question. I'm surprised there wasn't someone asking for a secret password when I walked into the building!"
In anticipation of many constituents being turned away at the door, organizers rented a ballroom in the hotel to hold a separate jobs rally. An hour prior to the start of Rep. Cantor's event, the hotel manager abruptly told the organizers they had two minutes to leave the ballroom. Undeterred, the constituents filled the median across the street from the hotel and chanted "Jobs Now!"
At the rally outside, unemployed Rep. Cantor constituents shared one story after the next of struggling to find work in the Richmond area.
"I have two masters degrees and a lifetime of experience but I have been out of work for over a year. It is tough for me to need charity when I am so used to helping provide for others in the past. But my Congressman, Rep. Cantor is deaf to people like me because he refuses to have a meeting about jobs," said constituent Marie Coons. "I signed up for his meeting but was denied access. Is it because I have not contributed to his campaign? Is it because I am not a Tea Party member? Or is it because I am unemployed and he is hiding from people like me?"
"There are 40,000 unemployed people in this district and we cannot get a meeting by phone, in person or even a town hall meeting with Eric Cantor to talk about this crisis. These are our neighbors and friends and family who are struggling," said constituent Marjorie Clark. "Now he won't even let us into his private meeting but stopped us from having our own meeting on jobs. What is he afraid of? Why won't he meet with us?"
On top of facing unemployment, many residents are still without power and are facing substantial damage from Hurricane Irene and were outraged over Rep. Cantor's comments that disaster funding should be offset with spending cuts.
Those who were able to get inside the event found that Rep. Cantor cherry picked which constituents would be allowed to ask questions.
"I had my hand up the entire time and watched as only Cantor supporters were chosen to ask questions. It seemed that only after clapping and smiling at everything that Rep. Cantor said was I handed the mic," said Jeff Hunt of Richmond. "Finally, I was able to ask him why he does not support extending the payroll tax cut for a year. For a congressman who slavishly sticks to his tax cuts message, I cannot understand why he would not support a measure that cuts taxes for a majority of Americans and creates jobs."
On Monday, Cantor released a jobs memo that outlines a series of deregulations of environmental and safety protections. While rally goers were pleased that Rep. Cantor acknowledged the need for jobs, they were less than impressed with Rep. Cantor's anemic jobs outline.
"Rep. Cantor's 'jobs memo' will not create jobs, it will create sick kids and unsafe drinking water," said Virginia Organizing Board Member Ladelle McWhorter. "If Rep. Cantor was serious about creating jobs, he would end tax breaks and loopholes for CEOs, hedge fund managers and others, and make big, profitable corporations pay their fair share of taxes so America can invest in creating quality jobs here at home."
