They may cancel all town halls. What will happen is that the constituents with questions/opinions will show up at their offices. If that fails to bring answers, they'll show up at their homes. If that fails...

And in the offices and at their homes, will the disruptive and publicity seeking mob listen to the answers? Video - Youtube: Kathy Castor Town Hall Erupts in Tampa Florida, August 6th, ... - Glenn Beck, Congress

And from today's NY Times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/07/opinion/07krugman.html?_r=1

"[...] Key organizers include two Astroturf (fake grass-roots) organizations: FreedomWorks, run by the former House majority leader Dick Armey, and a new organization called Conservatives for Patients Rights.

The latter group, by the way, is run by Rick Scott, the former head of Columbia/HCA, a for-profit hospital chain. Mr. Scott was forced out of that job amid a fraud investigation; the company eventually pleaded guilty to charges of overbilling state and federal health plans, paying $1.7 billion yes, thats billion in fines. You cant make this stuff up.[...]"

Americans want detailed answers over this bill. So far--we have gotten a bunch of rhetoric--we want the nitty gritty details--that's all.

Like how much is this going to cost & exactly who is going to pay for it--& how are the people who are going to pay for it--pay for it.

Nancy Pelosi--actually gave congress a 2" x 3" wallet card--for talking points to sell this bill to their constituents. Well Nancy you can't cram a 1017 page bill on a 2" x 3" wallet card.

It's like our elected officials are nothing more than a bunch of used car salesmen.

If that fails, then they will drop in the polls. If that does not encourage representatives to open themselves up to "questions/opinions" (as you put it) then they may get voted out of office.

They don’t want to appear in person where extremists would have to shout then and everyone else down. They don’t want to host town hall meetings where some right-wingers would go seemingly solely to verbally attack people. Politicians have no way to be sure whether hateful protests would happen if meetings were to be held live in town halls. As one politician said "If someone says you're going to walk into an ambush, you don't do it just to prove there's an ambush."

What a time we live in that the people know whats in the bill more than the politicians that vote on it. That's why they are afraid and will be gone in 2010 and 2012.

Um. Did you read your own link?

The school cancelled.

A day after a Russ Carnahan event led to the arrests of five participants and a reporter, University City High School — where U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill was set to hold a similar event on Tuesday– announced that the forum has been canceled.

The school district sent a news release this afternoon stating that the “reasons for the cancellation by the school district are due to concerns for the safety and security of its staff, community members attending the event, and for the students who would be on campus during that time.”

Just so I understand the OP's position here...

Are you glad these meetings are being disrupted to the point no one gets to speak out? That all you hear is chanting and fighting among the two sides?

Do you not want these meetings to take place at all?

Ya cause well, no one on the opposite side of the health care issue has a valid point or should actually expect to be heard.

That's not what I'm saying and you know that.

If these meetings are disrupted so that NO one gets to speak or be heard, what's the point?

I think they have made their point clear. Rather than allow open public discourse on a critical national issue, they prefer to intimidate, shout down and prevent any opinion that does not conform to the insurance company.....excuse me.....republican position

People who want to be heard...great. I'm all for that. Sad to say, those who want to be heard on BOTH sides are being drowned out by the shouters who act like kindergarteners on crack.

Well, it's obvious. They simply don't want the issue discussed at all.

Let's pretend the shoe was on the other foot, so to speak. In that people from the left were disrupting GOP reps'/senators' meetings to the point they couldn't speak, no one was being heard, etc.

How would you people from the right respond to that?

I think both sides need to start acting like they've got some damned sense and behave like adults. Ask questions and discuss the issue like civilized human beings for God's sake. You can hold your reps feet to the fire without acting like this.

I very much support the cons' right to protest. Go for it. But inside the meetings there needs to be some sense of order if everyone is to get a chance to speak their piece.
