Do you know about - Town Hall Eyewitness
Abortion! Again, for I know. Ready to share new things that are useful. You and your friends.
Please find following my eyewitness account of a town hall meeting last summer. The discontentment I witnessed there is part and parcel of the Tea Party Movement. Here are my commonsense conservative views on the people called Tea Partiers.
What I said. It isn't outcome that the real about Abortion. You read this article for info on that wish to know is Abortion.How is Town Hall Eyewitness
In the interest of full disclosure, I have been active in conservative politics in Tennessee pretty heavily for the last 10 years. While I saw some familiar faces in the crowd, most of them were either new faces or people I had seen nearby town but never at a political event, much less a protest. Contrary to what you may have heard, many of them were Democrats, and most of them were older -say 40 and above. These are people who had never for real called a congressman before. As they became more and more implicated about the issues I mention here, they called their congressman. Many for the first time. They were shocked at the reception they received. They for real idea they would get to speak with the congressman. They for real idea they would get an answer. Of course, they got the totally normal double speak and evasion. They called people they knew vaguely locally, like a mayor or county executive. They called their neighbors and urged them to call the congressman. They checked back with them and found out all these people received the same run nearby they got.
For the first time in their lives, they for real asked a politicians for something... And mostly, they came away unconvinced not only that their congressman had listened, but also that he for real cared. The anger and fear they feel is about the double speak and the evasion they received. They naively idea they could make a inequity right away. They were shocked that their congressman was for real Very implicated about what the leadership in Washington thought. These people idea they were the boss, and for the first time, they questioned either their government for real cared what they thought. either they even mattered. It is straight through that lens that you understand the anger and sense of betrayal many of them feel.
Read away!
Town Hall Eyewitness
I attended a Lincoln Davis Town hall meeting Thursday evening, August 22 of 2009 in Crossville Tn. Lincoln Davis is a member of the House of Representatives, Tennessee's 4th congressional district.
When we arrived at the venue, over 400 people had already been seated, and the doors were locked and guarded by the Police Force. Affable, apologetic when suitable and all the time firm, they for real were roving diplomats that spoke highly not just of "training" but base sense and respect for the citizens. Enough cannot be said of how well they handled this situation!
Over the procedure of the next two hours, as people began to exit, the police would allow replacements so ultimately everybody was both allowed to enter, and to step up to a floor mike and speak their mind. I missed Rep. Lincoln's chance remarks but the gist was that he was here to listen, and he would preserve criticism until the end. Or course, the "end" ended up being about 4 hours after the start. All in all, I would guess 1000 people came and went over those four hours. At 5:00 the legal beginning time, I counted over 400 waiting outside, and the police confirming over 400 inside. An easy 200 left and were supplanted in the line surface before everybody ultimately got in.
There was a lot of anger and a lot of fear. The fear has been characterized as a fear of the health care plan... That was not what I saw. What I saw was a group of people who for the first time in their adult life, feared their government was out of their control.
At the end of it all, Rep. Davis came out on the stage, glimpse on his humble beginnings, born at home etc. Etc. And how far rehabilitation has come. He told a story about person being diagnosed with breast cancer and having their insurance canceled, and insisted there must be health care reform. On the other hand, he listed several things he would Not vote for if they were covered by the bill:
Public funding of abortion.
Illegal immigrant coverage.
Euthanasia - As if person would propose such an amendment!
And probably a merge more along those lines.
So he answered none of the questions with Any specificity. Every questionable accounting dodge, why no specific illegal immigrant coverage amendment, every query you can logically think of had been asked. Many brought with them specific page numbers and direct quotes for all their assertions. They spoke loudly and boldly, but many thanked Rep Davis for former conservative votes. They spoke in the frustrated tones, many times, of people who feel sure they are going to be ignored.
In an act of pure political theatre, Rep. Lincoln held up his card for the congressional voting machine. "Nancy Pelosi does not operate my vote" he trumpeted!
Last year, Lincoln Davis voted the party line 92% of the time... A far cry from the feelings of his district. But he knows (or thinks he does) how to play the game and walk the line. His re-election race will be one of the test cases next year. This series of town halls are the beginning of that campaign.
How has he done?
He is highly smooth in his presentation, maybe too smooth. But he hits all the right notes, and rings all the right bells. The real test comes in his votes From Here. The voters might give him a pass on past sins...
But he ignores these town hall protesters and votes against their wishes, and I believe he will lose his seat...
The query is, Does he?
