I doubt that many have dug too deeply into articles/blogs about the Town Hall meetings that are being circulated. That may be a wise move since being overly informed is taxing the ability of my blood pressure medication to work! As seen in this photo, swastikas are showing up; Limbaugh is freely comparing Obama to Hitler; Palin is spreading the word about Obama's "Death Panel" and seniors across America are warned of their forced extinction if Health Reform is passed. Outrageous as this seems, it's working. Familiar groups such as Americans for Prosperity and faces such as Randal Terry of Operation Rescue fame are blanketing the country with distortion or outright lies about a bill that hasn't even been written. In the meantime the ridiculous charges about Obama's birthplace are thriving and taking up time in our overtaxed judicial system. Overly zealous conservatives are flooding Congress with emails and phone calls aimed at stopping the progress of needed change that was voted for. I don't suggest for a moment that Democrats should resort to these infantile practices but sitting on the sidelines, tsk-tsking at the antics without responding in a reasoned, rational way just can't be an option. We have to muster the courage to stand up for what is right and sensible. Letters, calls, emails of support are an effective response but a simple act such as supporting local Democratic events shouldn't be underestimated. So treat yourself to an evening's entertainment by attending the reception and presentation of the documentary WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? this Friday, August 14th at the Fox Theatre. The suggested donation of $10 will help the Reno County Democratic Party in it's efforts but more importantly, the act of showing up in support sends a strong, positive message. Hope to see you all there starting at 6:30 on Friday!

R C DEMOCRATS: WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?
