KRLD: Republicans Blast Local Democrats for Telephone Town Halls
Two representatives from Texas will not be holding town hall meetings on healthcare because of recent disruptions at events in other parts of the country. Democratic strategist Matt Angle applauds Eddie Bernice Johnson of Dallas and Chet Edwards of Waco for opting to conduct teleconferences with their constituents.
But, Dallas County Republican Party Chair Jonathan Neerman says democrats are just avoiding the concerns of real people. “This is an organic, grassroots movement not being pushed by any political party,” said Neerman.
