Temper Tantrum: (IN) Tea Party members demand town hall meeting over health care

http://www.wthr.com/story/23230330/2013/08/22/tea-party-members-demand-town-hall-meeting-over-health-care

"Members of FreedomWorks, a Libertarian group, protested outside the office of Congresswoman Susan Brooks Thursday.

Greg Fettig with FreedomWorks says his group is demanding a town hall meeting with Rep. Brooks. "What most of the congressmen and women are doing now is what they're calling 'one on one' meetings. That's a few people attending a very scripted question and answer. Those questions are submitted in writing and it gives the congressman or woman the opportunity to duck the hard questions. What we want Susan Brooks is to have an open, honest forum where we can get her on record whether or not she'll vote to defund Obamacare in view of the continuing resolution which is giving the government more borrowing money or the unlikelihood it'll go to a full debt ceiling vote," Fettig said."


Poor babies haven't had enough attention lately, gotta hold a rally.
In case they forgot, their darling Governator Pence has pretty much refused to get Indiana on board with ACA.
Not sure why they need to whine, except, well, to whine.

Susan is my rep! I went to her web site. She's voted against Obamacare each time it came up and I have no doubt she doesn't plan on switching.

What are these people complaining about? No..never mind. If they had any sense... In this district most of the people would vote for a beagle if it had an "R" on its collar. And have done so quite often in the past.

I noticed that she is just like Burton except for the intelligence and charm.

She's straight republican and in step with Cantor. Hope he doesn't stop quick. He'd need some of that Obamacare to pay for the extraction.
