Members of Congress should have passed health care reform over a decade ago. They should have passed it before recess. They shouldn't have taken recess. Do you get to take a recess from your job when pressing concerns hover over your head? I don't.
Anyway, since Congress has failed to do their job on health care (and a myriad of other issues) and is now on recess, they should be at home fielding tough questions from constituents. But it shouldn't be that hard to have a town hall meeting that isn't disrupted by right wing loons.
Here's how.
1-Have ample security
2-Explain the rules up front. The rules are:
2a-Anyone who has a question will have an opportunity to ask it, and will receive an answer. Anyone. If this means having a 10 hour meeting, boo hoo. I work more than 10 hour days all the time.
2b-Anyone who wants to talk will need to ask their question into a provided microphone.
2c-If you talk out of turn, try to disrupt other speakers, threaten violence, act like an idiot, you will be removed.
THE END
Why is this so difficult? What is there to complain about under this scenario? If you came to express your opinion, you can. If you act like an ass, you don't deserve to be treated with much respect. Is this so hard? Am I missing something?
