Visclosky 2011 Townhall Schedule: Mark Your Calenders! - Will the TEA Party be back?

Many of us remember the townhall forums of 2009 at the height of the health care reform debate.  Some called it debate, while others referred to it as a crisis, an impending apocalypse.  This is also where and when the TEA party locally started getting it's loud, some say annoying, still others say obnoxious voice.  I suspect they will be back for another go-round so it's very important for Progressives to make sure they hit these Visclosky forums.

If there are other forums from other candidates in the 1st and 2nd Congressional Districts, who is to say if they will or won't be organizing again to double dip congressional districts.  The only saving grace is that the local leader of the TEA Party Patriots has lost favor with many who once aligned with her.

Even without a potential TEA Party presence, we need to be engaged.  There is much at stake.

If you here of any organizational rumblings from the opposition to Pete's townhall or any other Democratic Rep in 1st or 2nd, please leave a comment here or shoot an e-mail to DANI e-mail.

Here is Congressman Visclosky's schedule, which was previously posted as a note to the DANI Facebook page.
