If you happen to read this, can I make a friendly suggestion for you to consider over the next several months? Okay, thanks! ;)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing these Townhall videos of Republicans getting flustered by their vote to end Medicare. So, I was thinking how great it would be to have a calendar that would list the dates, times, and locales where Republicans will be holding Townhalls. Yes, unfortunately this idea is not original as it was all over the rightwing-o'sphere two years ago. Like on Redstate, at the top of the page on the right they had a great calendar with D's that were going to be publicly speaking and it encouraged people to go and approach their Rep or Senator about their vote on health care.
I certainly paid attention to those dates, because I wanted to go and counter. Most people, myself and my elderly father included, don't have the time to keep up with where our Rep is speaking from one moment to the next. But others are. And if it were user friendly and allowed Dailykos members to upload dates and info then I think we could get something going!
Just a suggestion! Boy oh boy how I'd love to see, as the townhalls really get cranking in July/August, video after video of holding these men and women to their vote. More please! Much much more!
K thx bai!

Thanks for the Recs! I really appreciate it. I wanted to scream as the townhalls and the astroturf behind them turned public opinion against good policy. Goodbye public option, hello tea party crazers and death panels. I just hope we can give them a taste of their own...tea. Cheers!
