An anti-Obama group of volunteers working on behalf of the LaRouche PAC, a political network that is calling for, among other things, the impeachment of President Barack Obama, set up shop outside the post office on East Ramapo Ave. in Mahwah Wednesday. The group hung up signs, handed out paperwork and spoke to passersby and PO patrons about their political positions, and advocated for a slate of LaRouche candidates.

“We are set up here because we have a candidate running in New Jersey’s 5th Congressional District, and Mahwah is a part of that,” volunteer Linda Leppig, of Hackensack, said. “We have been organizing since April of 2009, and we usually come [to Mahwah] once every few months.”

The PAC’s political position supports the views of Lyndon LaRouche. The group has made headlines for controversial signs and political handouts.

In Mahwah, LaRouche volunteers set up signs saying “Stop World War III: Impeach Obama,” and photos of the President donning a Hitler-like mustache.

According to Diane Sare, the “LaRouche Democrat” running for NJ’s 5th District congressional seat, “these displays have been having a big impact in towns across the district. We also have about 30 volunteers going door-to-door every weekend on our behalf.” Sare said the Bergen County LaRouche camp has about 150 volunteers working on its campaign.

Sare is running for the position currently held by Rep. Scott Garrett, a Republican who was first elected in 2002. Garrett announced his reelection campaign earlier this year.

According to the two volunteers in Mahwah Wednesday – Leppig and fellow Hackensack resident Jeff Rebello – the PAC will continue to campaign in the township. “We will be back,” Leppig said. “Mahwah is an important part of the 5th District.”

This is what seperates this country from the world. People have the right to speak their minds-as long as you are not preaching outright violence.Although the recent case with Ted Nugent seems to say that's even acceptable. This freedom of speech should not be taken lightly or abused. Let's hope it never changes.

They have been camping there for years. They had George Bush as Hiltler back in the day. I am a big fan of their outfits. They had a guy there last time who was dressed like he just came in from the Australian Outback.

What a joke these people are. I wish I had gone to the post office yesterday to give them a piece of my mind. They can't respect the leader of our country?!? You know they can't be taken seriously when they use a photo of the president as Hitler. Talk about separating this country... these people are the type responsible. People need to get over the fact that we have a minority president. Deal with it.

Would love to hear your justification for claiming that these people, whatever their opinion, is based on racism. Especially when their message has nothing to do with race and the had the same message and signs when Bush was in office. I guess pulling the race card is just the easy, lazy way of dealing with things, instead of actually confronting the policies implemented that have led so many Americans to lose respect for this "leader". (how do I make one of those rolled eyes little faces?)

This whole presidential situation has nothing to do with race or color. I has to do with what Obama has been doing to put this country in danger of loosing its freedom and the Constitution of the United States: Giving all of our money to foreign countries, including enemies, appointing members of the Muslim Brotherhood to Homeland Security positions. Haven't you been paying any attention to what is really happening and Obama's tyranny against the People of the United States?

Let us all recognize what this group and similar groups do. They use our wonderful country's freedom of speech to use inflammatory language and posters to incite, to provoke hate against causes and people. It's the tactic of terrorists and has inspired violence in many cases.

Friends of terrorists is a common description for them. That is being nice. The whole movement (if it can really be called that) is more inline with the Westboro Baptists and other small fringe groups using brainwashing and hate mongering to get some attention.

Hi Allan, if these people are actually following as "LaRouchiers", then I don't think it's as easy as that, unfortunately. LaRouchePAC has a long and twisted history in politics. I just hope these people don't end up with death threats if/when they snap out of it and decide that this fascist, racist, conspiratory group isn't what they really want. Sadly, it has been resported to have happened in the past to former followers of the group. Awful.

ugh.. and I can't stand the fact that Sare is running with LaRouche AND Democrat in the same title. None of what LaRouche's followers believe is Democratic thinking. "LaRouche Democrat" is an oxymoron, IMO.

Obama should be impeached, all his personal recorrds are closed. Phony birth certificate, phony social security card and one of his best friends will be collecting the ballets in November over in Spain. Why is Spain collecting our ballots and not the USA.

Looking at the picture of these two I am shocked. How is everyone missing the obvious. Have we not learned that you can not trust men with belly bags? He is obviously a European tourist. Those are the only people who wear belly bags. Can this man even be by a post office without producing his birth certificate? He could be Danish socialist or worse French. Where are the black helicopters watching everyone who interacted with them? Or maybe Jane is right they are from Spain and just here to influence our elections. We use electronic machines here but maybe there is a place where you can still submit a paper ballot? Totally makes sense that the best friend of the president needs to take a part time job to collect fake ballots in Spain. Think he gets paid off the book? Please somebody call somebody and tell them they heard from someone that they know for a fact that Obama was born on Krypton because they had heard from someone who babysat the OBGYN's kid once in the 70's.

Roger - that makes perfect sense. Thanks for opening my eyes to this.
Clearly this was all part of a long-planned time-warp conspiracy. That's why back then they printed birth announcements in local Hawaii papers for some arbitrary infant - obvioulsy they already knew back then that aliens would promote this newborn to president later in his life. I mean, come on, which other newspaper ever prints birth announcements?
This all started with the discovery of America financed by - guess who - the Spanish! You see the connection? This is so much bigger than anyone realizes...

I usually vote democrat, but in this case I'll make an exception. These people make no sense. Obama is my candidate only because he lies less than Romney. I don't I've heard the republican presidential candidates take a position on anything and stick with it (except when God tells them so).

Yes, it always amazes me how in this country lawsuits are moving up all the way to the supreme court(s) because of some religious holiday display, prayers at school or statues at the steps of some state courts -- because SUPPOSEDLY everyone is so concerned with the constitution guaranteeing the oh-so-noble principle of seperation of church and state.

But, ironically, most candidates feel it necessary to cite "divine inspiration" in their decision to either run for office - or even claim that somehow their god has picked THEM (and THEIR country) EXCLUSIVELY to favor with His superior guidance over all the other candidates and countries. I guess the assumption is that that their god hasn't read the constitution and is a card-carrying party member and passport-carrying American?

At the same time, any candidate who is well-educated will catch the instant wrath of a huge number, who feel that being smart is a clear detriment when leading THIS country.

In other leading nations, prospective leaders will try to convince voters precisely of their level of education, professional experience and world knowledge - for which they can cite proof and samples. Someone who ran based on the made-up claim that their god will be whispering in their ear (and no one else's) during their term in office would appear oddly out of touch with reality to voters - which would reflect in the lack of votes.

Most of our Weather originates outside the US and cannot produce a birth certificate. So Weather can not vote. But if Weather could vote I am sure it would vote for the candidate from the "windy" city. Just saying.

My life has actually gotten better with this president Randy, and I can't wait until the full set of health care reform laws go into effect over his next four year term. There's no way he can't win with my party's (Republican) set of clowns they have picked. The downward spiral is actually Republican, and it all started with the moronic picking of Sarah Palin by John McCain. It was all downhill from there. I'm staying independent from them again and voting President Obama.

I do not agree with you. Did you read the healthcare act? Did you see the items that are NOT healthcare items. Did you read that all Muslims are exempt from the healthcare act? Also, all politicians are exempt. Did you read that if Obama is elected he will impliment a 1% charge for all financial instituitiions, including banks CU's and others. Any electronis transfer of a persons SS check will be charged 1%. Any ATM withdrawal will be charged 1%. Soi, you know what Obama is all about. Thing twice. JW

Don't get me started! There'll be a 1% surcharge on french fries longer than 2 inches, and any late-night withdrawals from the family's peanut butter jar will be subject to a 1% capital weight gain. And all Amish will be excempt from having to wear hospital gowns unless they have plain buttons. Just keep reading that healthcare act, you'll be surprised all you will uncover.

It's really amazing to me how many people don't check things out after they hear them and just accept them because they perceive them to be true but are interpreting them all wrong.

Muslims exempt from the health care act? not quite. Read the facts James...

http://www.snopes.com/politics/medical/exemptions.asp

Personally, the ONLY thing I really don't like about the new health care laws, right now, is that they didn't take them far enough. We should have a single payer system installed so that costs can be controlled without insurance companies being involved and taking excessive profits and bonuses. Otherwise, I'm good with the additional taxes to pay for things, because let's face it, everyone involved in the medical field automatically gets 35 million new customers to make up for that tax loss (ie: the medical device tax) and the general population benefits from new features in our policies (you can't tell me things like not being dropped for pre-existing conditions or having no maximum yearly or lifetime dollar limits isn't a great thing. And if you do, you're misguided or think people can live their whole life without visiting a doctor or dentist [in THAT case, I feel sorry for them cause they will be lookin really bad.]). The new laws could be a lot better, but considering the push back from my Republican friends, it's a start to get people used to these changes in health care insurance and modify it to single payer over the next couple of decades.

Oh yeah and BTW, it was the Republicans that suggested the health care changes in the first place, because let's face it... it's the ultimate way to control Medicare costs eventually. Force them down after you are in complete control of it. They just don't like it now to be contrary to the president. If Mitt gets in you think anything is going to change? No. It'll just be called something else.

LaRouch is a white racist. His group follow the KKK teachings. He is a dimocrap, styled in the Southern White Dims of the 50s and 60s. His hatred of Blacks,Jews and Catholics are pure KKK teachings.
