Reports from the Town Hall meeting

I just wanted to get a couple of quick hit impressions down about last night's town hall meeting with John Kline. I took copious notes and I will spend some time today putting them into a single coherent post.

Both sides were fairly equally represented. The town hall meeting was open to ALL issues so we did get a couple of intelligent questions about issues other than Iraq, but we all knew why the majority was there and the questions reflected it.

We heard from the usual suspects on the left but we also got to hear from a Gold Star Mom (Merrilee Carlson) and from Powerlines Sgt Thole from Chaska. Sgt. Thole's rep read from his 3/17 Star Tribune editorial and informed Congressman Kline that they were going to present his office first with the Appeal for Courage Petition (if you are active duty you need to check the site out).

I shot almost a full roll of film at the protest prior to the town hall meeting that I will be getting developed today so I should have pictures this afternoon. Stay tuned for further updates!
