Isn’t it amazing that Lobbyist that live in other states or even other countries can get face time with the congressman as long as they bring with them a FAT CHECK.....

No ID to vote but you need an ID to talk to Congress.

...his town halls to prove that they're his constituentsI'm not surprised the congressman have who have town hall meetings not done that already.
As long as they are consistent and ONLY allow constituents in who live in his district, I have no real problem with him doing it.
Knowing that people DIRECTLY responsible to throw his ass out will be there, maybe he might listen and get a clue.

Knowing that people DIRECTLY responsible to throw his ass out will be there . . . Don't kid yourself. The meeting will be pre-packed with an SEIU choir before they open the doors for "little people."

Bring your birth certificate, too.
And then insist that he support legislation that requires ID for voting.

Believe me, I'm not under any delusions. I'm sure he will pack the hall with his cronies constituents.
I'm just a big believer in "representative government"
I'm sure in the vast majority of these town hall meetings the congressman believe the angry and frustration being vented are by people who don't vote for them so it is easy to ignore them and vote as they see fit.
By allowing allow people from his district, the one who actually get to speak at least will be heard loud and clear. Maybe a few will be real Americans

What about Katrina trash “evacuated” to his district? They were allowed to vote in the NOLA elections.

Funny thing is that he doesn’t want his constuent voices dilluted by outsiders but doesn’t have a problem with it when it comes to elections.
Wonder how he would feel if outsiders voted his sorry butt out?

Services to illegal immigrants are already restricted and not in this health care legislation," Green said.There's nothing -- zippo, nada -- in the House bill, as posted online, that restricts health care to legal residents of the United States.

Bring your birth certificate, too. And a sign that states "Here's my Birth Certificate - Where's Obama's?"

It is getting tiresome hearing about this 47 million uninsured. The number is bogus. Included in this count are illegal immigrants and no one really knows how many there are. Next there are young people who choose not to get insurance. When these groups are removed from the estimates there are only about 5 million uninsured due to preexisting conditions.
Anyone who claims that there are 47 million uninsured automatically loses any credibility on reforming healthcare. They are more interested in socializing healthcare and growing the size of government.
