August 7, 2009Townhall Downfall: Reps. Ross & Snyder (D-AR)
Despite President Barack Obama’s deadline, both the House and Senate failed to pass Obama’s health care plan before they adjourned for the month of August. Now Senators and Representatives are returning home to participate in one of America’s greatest democratic traditions: the townhall.
The events afford citizens the rare opportunity to share their opinions directly with their elected officials. “Share their opinions directly” is exactly what they’re doing.

August 6, 2009Townhall Downfall: House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD)

Despite President Barack Obama’s deadline, both the House and Senate failed to pass Obama’s health care plan before they adjourned for the month of August. Now Senators and Representatives are returning home to participate in one of America’s greatest democratic traditions: the townhall.
The events afford citizens the rare opportunity to share their opinions directly with their elected officials. Considering the unprecedented scope of power that President Obama wants to exercise over our nation’s health sector (a sector that is one-sixth of our entire economy and larger than the United Kingdom), we’re sure Americans will have plenty to say.
Rep. Kagen got a cool welcome from his fellow cheeseheads in Wisconsin last night. Watch:
