Be Heard
By now you have undoubtedly read the stories of Town Hall meetings and other public forums held by Congressmen that have devolved into protests, fights, and chaos. Well, if you want to see what all the fuss is about, you can come to Rep. Hank Johnson's town hall meeting on healthcare tonight:
Monday, August 10 from 7 to 9 p.m.
Georgia Perimeter College Clarkston Campus
Cole Auditorium/FineArtsCenter
555 North Indian Creek Drive
Clarkston, GA 30021
Why would I voluntarily go to such a fruforal, you might be wondering? Because I think it is important for everyone to make their opinions on this important issue known, not just those who are willing to yell the loudest to shut down debate.
We know what the tactics will be in this fight--creating the appearance of overwhelming opposition, relying upon supporters to be too confused or lazy to counter, and by spinning half-truths and outright lies in the media in order to scare people. It is time for those of us who want to see real change to do a little work to get there. I'm standing up and making the effort. Will you?

Well, I talk a good game but work is not exactly cooperating for me right now. I may not make it myself. Going to wait and see what Twitterers on the ground report before I decide.
