Last week, I called the office of Jerrold Nadler, my congressman, to see if he would be holding any constituent meetings on health care.
Today, I got a recorded call from Congressman Nadler inviting me to participate in a “live telephone town hall” at 8PM this evening. The call came in at 7:35PM.
Of course, this timing left constituents with a mere 25 minutes warning. (I didn’t even get a chance to listen to the voicemail until the “town hall” was long over.)
I’m sure the short notice caused many folks to miss the opportunity to question their congressman directly. Perhaps that was by design.
A cynical political observer might conclude that Congressman Nadler wanted as few people calling as possible.

"What planet are you from?"
"Arguing with you is like arguing with a dinner room table."
Also, another health care reform opponent dredging up the Nazis:
This insane hell-woman at a town hall in Las Vegas overhears an Israeli man praising Israel’s national health care system, and says from afar, “HEIL HITLER!” Then she calls him gay for Obama and laughs like a baby
