Connolly Finally Plans a Townhall Meeting with a catch
Greg over at Black Velvet Bruce Li reports that Rep. Gerry Connolly has decided to finally announce a health care townhall meeting, but this meeting will not be open to the public, rather it will be open to the residents of a gated community (which is only open to residents) called Heritage Hunt. Why hold this hearing in a gated community? This hearing will not allow anyone to ask questions of their Congressman and receive answers.
Why so late in deciding townhall meetings? Is Connolly afraid to face the anger of his constituency? Whatever the reason might be, Connolly should be held accountable for his stances on health care.
UPDATE: In the meantime, I found out that there might be a possible health care meeting featuring former Vermont Governor Howard Dean in Annandale on August 22nd featuring Connolly. This hearing will no doubt have the SEIU thugs present. Once I find out more details about this event, there will be a post available with the details.

Way to go, Gerry. Going to a gated community in the most remote part of your district. The zip code for Heritage Hunt is split between Connolly and Wolf’s districts, but at least the HH clubhouse is in Gerry’s territory.
