    Here is the gist of a report filed by an American citizen who attempted to attend a Town Hall meeting staged August 14 in Bozeman, Montana, by our country's new Doctor-in-Chief. I say "staged" because, instead of holding it at one of several convenient and available auditoriums or gymnasiums offering easy access from any direction, with plenty of parking, seats, tables, utilities, audio equipment, not to mention a stage and podium, the President's scouts chose the most remote site imaginable ­ the most inaccessible hangar of an airport outside ofBelgrade, a tiny, nearby town, totally secluded from the public. No...

    In December 1917 Bolshevik Russian leaders, including one of the founders of Socialist thuggery Vladimir Lenin, established the Cheka—Russia’s first political secret police. With almost unlimited power, the Cheka implemented “campaigns of terror” against the wealthy, land owners and those who opposed Lenin and Bolshevism. !n 1922, once most of Russia’s opposition to their new absolute rulers had lessened, the Cheka was disbanded. However, under the singularly oppressive Josef Stalin, Cheka was reinstated and ultimately renamed “The People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs” (NKVD) and what would be known as Stalin’s “Great Terror of the 1930s began. The NKVD was used...

    Itching to unload on Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand at a town hall meeting on health care reform? You're out of luck. Aides to the New York Democrats told the Daily News they won't be sponsoring any town hall meetings on health care. Instead, they will be touring the state and soliciting opinions in more informal settings. "During recess, as he does every year, Sen. Schumer will be in over 20 counties across New York City and state talking with

    CLARKESVILLE - U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, R-Athens, walked into a North Georgia Technical College auditorium Tuesday evening to a standing ovation, holding three thick white binders. "Folks, this is Obamacare," he said, holding the binders over his head. "Let me start this by telling you what I think of this bill and Obamacare," he said, and slammed the binders on the ground. With that, Broun set the tone for a town hall meeting on health care reform. The Democrats' proposal is too expensive and will threaten millions of Georgians' jobs and lives, he said. "This is a stinking, rotten fish,...

    US Rep. Tsongas (Massachusetts) meeting on Obama health care proposal in Chelmsford, Mass Aug. 8, 2009. Rep. Tsongas stated the abortion would not be covered under the proposed plan because of the Hyde Amendment prohibiting the use of public funds for the procedure. She also stated that illegal aliens would not be covered. Many reports on the proposed plan say otherwise. 800 people showed up for the meeting but only 400 were allowed in the hall.

    Minneapolis StarTribune (aka The Red Star) ^ | 8/06/09 | Mark Brunswick/Eric Roper - Staff Reporters
    Farmfest is typically a genial event -- a stop elected and aspiring officials consider an easy political must-do. But at this year's gathering in rural Redwood Falls, as First District U.S. Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn., put in an appearance, an audience member declared loudly that plans for national health reform were a "step toward communism." Walz, a veteran, shot back: "I didn't spend 24 years in the military to be called a Communist, I can tell you that." A similarly harsh reception confronted Fifth District Rep. Keith Ellison, when he struggled for control of the microphone at what should have...

    This is a letter written by a lady from the Massachusetts 912 project; she attended the meeting and was told no cameras or questions.To all concerned patriots. Michelle and I went to the so called "town hall" meeting today in Worcester. Congressman McGovern was joined by Richard Neal. It was standing room only. It was such an orchestrated dog and pony show it was ridiculous. We were outraged, as were many other people. As soon as they began, they announced that questions that had been submitted on index cards would be addressed at some point during the "discussion" That brought...

    For the second day in a row, Congressman Steve Kagen asked Wisconsinites for their opinions about the health care reform bill. Monday night the Congressman heard an earful from constituents attending his Green Bay listening session. Several hundred people packed the Brown County Central Library to speak out against the bill, and another hundred or so were kept out of the meeting because there simply wasn't enough room. Tuesday the Congressman took the listening session south to Appleton to hear what people in the Fox Valley think about the bill. "You said this is a listening session, now listen," one...

    Congressman James McGovern will be holding a Health Care Town Hall meeting on Tuesday, August 4 from 3:30 to 4:30 at the UMass. Medical School, 55 Lake Street, Worcester in Amphitheater 1. He needs to hear your concerns about Obamacare. Please come with very specific, factual questions. · Why do we need to scrap our current health care system if 85% of people are satisfied with their current plan? · Why does such a massive bill need to be rushed through Congress? · Have you read the bill? Why not? · Will you be covered by the plan that average...

    At two public events on Saturday, the hot topic was health care reform. The plan was for Congressman Patrick Murphy to discuss health care reform and other hot-button topics with his constituents on a one-on-one basis. The plan didn't last long. Minutes into the first of two scheduled "Congressman on Your Corner" sessions Saturday afternoon at the jam-packed Concerto Fusion restaurant in Morrisville, shouts from an impatient, frustrated crowd forced Murphy and his staff to reconsider the format of the event. "You're concerned about the format. We've changed the format," Larry Glick, Murphy's director of outreach, told the crowd. "The...
