the way I would do it. Hate to disappoint you but as I said in response to an earlier post by Hound, President's stack meetings all the time and I have no real objection to it. I never objected to the series of Obama townhalls that were clearly stacked in his favor.

I do object to congresspeople holding allegedly "open" townhalls to discuss a single issue like health care reform and then bringing in SEIU thugs to stack the hall, to intimidate people and beat up those with opposing viewpoints. Neither of the examples you provided meet that objectionable criteria, not even close.

If you don't want to have an open exchange of ideas and hear from your constituency just say so (as many Dems have). But don't claim you are having an open meeting to hear from them and then do what they did. Keep trying.......
