"Tea Baggers FAIL to disrupt Health Care meeting, lessons shared."

The Democratic Alliance of Northwest Indiana (DANI ) hosted a meeting with Rep. Pete Visclosky (D, IN-01), on Monday, Aug. 3, 6:30 PM. We invited the public and their written questions. It seems good to share with the Daily Kos readership some lessons we learned.

Bottom line:
• We had an orderly and productive meeting.
• No one stood up, shouted out and sat down.
• At no point was our Congressman or audience rattled.
• DANI accomplished its objective. We provided the public an opportunity to question our Congressman about Health Care and Clean Energy.
• Tea Baggers came out in force, but they failed to disrupt the meeting.
• Local reporters attended.

"Lessons learned follow below the fold."

4. Trust me there isn't going to be any hecklers at his townhall meeting

the Secret Service checks everybody coming in and if anyone gets ignorant there the Secret Service will grab them up and throw them the fuck out.

3. I just got a message from my Congressman

Michael Arcuri and he's going to telephone tomorrow at 1pm to have a meet on Health Care Reform in Congress!

Is that how he's getting around it? I work tomorrow but might try to be home on break at 1pm:)
