Nadler Phones It In
 New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler is having his first health-care town-hall forum on Monday night -- it just won't be with any actual people in the room. The Democratic congressman will hold a "telephone town hall," where Manhattan and Brooklyn constituents who have been calling his district office to talk about health-care reform will get return calls. The method allows Nadler to hold a forum without potentially encountering the protesters who have spoken out at other health-care reform events around the country. A Nadler spokesman insisted the move had nothing to do with avoiding protesters, saying they'd always planned on doing a "tele-town hall." Posted by: Fred 2009-08-16 |
