Healthcare Townhalls

This summer's townhall meetings are all over the news. It seems that telling our employees what we expect them to do is threatening to them.

Do you enter your boss' office, tell him what you are doing whether or not s/he likes it, that s/he can do nothing about it and that s/he can not tell you otherwise or you will have her thrown out? That is what is happening! We are the employer; they work for us! Yet, across the country, our elected officials, our hired hands are calling in security and police to silence us!

We must not let them silence us, however! Plan to attend at least 1 townhall this summer. Take signs, take a list of questions and make yourself heard. Be prepared and be informed. If possible, offer an alternative. Do not threaten and do not call names. Keep your questions/remarks factual. Try to have someone with you to video with a camera or a cell phone.

Above all, be respectful, but firm. We pay them, we have a right to demand that they follow their job descriptions. Do not give the opposition reason to be in physical fear. Keep it clean, respectful and assertive. We do not want to emulate the extreme left behavior. No violence or littering.

If you need a copy of a pocket Constitution, you can request one free here. Better yet, buy 100 copies for a low price of $30 (s/h included) and distribute them to everybody including politicians!


Townhalls this week

Defazio has 7 townhalls on Wednesday and Thursday this week and 6 next week. You can find his schedule on page 4 of his August newsletter.

Merkley's office stated that he will hold one townhall per year and we already had ours. He has no currently scheduled townhall meetings per his website. Call all of his offices and demand an audience with your employee.

Wyden's website has links for each county with a list of townhalls for each~ all of them in the past. Call his offices and request townhalls, too!

If you are looking for phone numbers to call these rogue employees or having a problem finding Defazio's townhall list, drop me an email and I will send them to you.
