Earlier tonight I attended Townhall meeting held by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL). It featured everything I have seen read, and heard about. There were some campaigning, there were TV crews there. There was leftist astroturfing. Signs weren't allowed inside, but they wore mass produced sticky badges. Seats towards the front were reserved for the brownshirts, so they outnumbered regular citizens, but their voices could still be heard.
During the meeting, Rep. Schakowski said she had read the bill. However, when questioned on Sec 431A on p.195 regarding the Health Chioces Administration having access to taxpayer information such as filing status, income, and dependents, she said she'd have to get back to us on that.
One hard-hitting question about her buddy President Obama was regarding the video clip of him saying he's "a proponent of a single payer healthcare plan" to the SEIU in 2003 and 2007. His key statement was " I don't think we can eliminate employer healthcare coverage immediately. There's going to be potentially some transition process. I can envision a decade out, or 15 years out, or 20 years out." However, earlier this year at the AMA he says that "those who are claiming a public option is a Trojan horse for a single payer system (is) an illegitimate concern that's being put forward". The question was, "was he lying then, or is he lying now?" Complete with thunderous applause. Of course she wouldn't answer the question.
After the Townhall adjourned, I saw the astroturfers outside the building holding their mass produced signs chanting, health care now! on the other side were the tea party protesters, and with them were LaRouche democrats with their Obama as Hitler signs.
Going to this Townhall only deepened my convictions to fight government run health care in any way possible, and this blog is part of that fight. (HT YouTube):
