Ben Nelson's Response
ScottC:
I just heard on the radio Senator Nelson?s ?town hall? meetings are scheduled for 1:30pm, and another is at 3pm?
Maybe I?m way off here, but logically isn?t that right in the middle of the work day for the vast MAJORITY of people. Are these times selected to accommodate his constituents? schedule? Or to make sure they don?t attend???????
Just another example of the pathetic spin these folks put on EVERYTHING to cover up their real motives. No one wants to be confronted with disagreements, and so they schedule these things so the least number of people can attend.
IF they really wanted to hear from folks, they?d hold them on weekends or at least in the evenings when most people could attend. But they (and their staff) don?t want to ?work? outside the 9-5, so it is set for their convenience - not ours.
But again, they think we are all too stupid to figure it out.

Personally I think you nailed that one right on the head. If they schedule during the day, first they don't have to work anymore than the 9-5 and most of us can't get off of work to attend.
RLMoeller:
They will be getting a lot of retired folks attended. I know my in-laws are going.
Magnus:
The place holds only 319 people. The left is already busy stacking the audience. ""Tuesday night, volunteers work the phones. They're cold calling people trying to get them to show up for the town hall meeting. The group, "Organizing America, Change That Works" is rallying for reform and wants people to show up in support of Senator Nelson. Organizer Margaret Mandy says, "There are so many options on the table, it's hard for people to know what's coming and to know what to support not to support ." Mandy is also with SEIU, "Service Employees International Union."" (cut from an article at http://www.action3news.com/global/story.asp?s=10953045). Senator Nelson remains open to a government option for health care insurance. He is, after all, a Democrat.

Ben Nelson is a coward for scheduling this when he did.
