Town halls gone wild - the sleeping giant is waking!

0 votes

Screaming constituents, protesters dragged out by the cops, congressmen fearful for their safety — welcome to the new town-hall-style meeting, the once-staid forum that is rapidly turning into a house of horrors for members of Congress.

On the eve of the August recess, members are reporting meetings that have gone terribly awry, marked by angry, sign-carrying mobs and disruptive behavior. In at least one case, a congressman has stopped holding town hall events because the situation has spiraled so far out of control.

In Bishop’s case, his decision came on the heels of a June 22 event he held in Setauket, N.Y., in which protesters dominated the meeting by shouting criticisms at the congressman for his positions on energy policy, health care and the bailout of the auto industry.

Within an hour of the disruption, police were called in to escort the 59-year-old Democrat — who has held more than 100 town hall meetings since he was elected in 2002 — to his car safely.

It they think Town Hall Meeting are getting wild

wait until campaign season begins. I think the incumbents will be getting an ear full on the campaign trail more so. Unless they do all their campaigning will be done by mail, TV and radio ads and do no public appearences.

Maybe more Congress people will realize just who they represent.

We the People,,,,and not the big banks, big business, or paid lobbyists.
