"Faso wont attend health care town hall meeting in Kingston." U.S. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney will!

TONIGHT in Kingston. 19th Congressional District Town Hall Meeting regarding Health Care. Although our current Congressman refuses to attend to meet with his constituents (he was invited) Democratic Representative Sean Patrick Maloney, D-Cold Spring NY 18th CD, will be present to answer questions about the potential ramifications of "repealing and replacing Obamacare". Many of you saw him on the Rachel Maddow show expressing his willingess to do this. He does so as a public service to residents of the 19th CD because he believes we deserve to have a Congressman wiling to meet with us to address our concerns. Here is newspaper coverage of tonight's pending event:

"Our converted 1921 garage comes as a raw space, which you can customize to your personal taste.

7,500 sq feet of raw open space, brick, concrete floors and exposed ceilings
Capacity for up to 275 seated (450 cocktail). Nice for smaller events also
Vintage-style lounge area that can be private or public during the event"

Their own web page is here: http://www.senategarage.com/


I want to be inside for this one also, but the last time a Town Hall No Show Faso event took place there were hundreds gathered outside as well (600 inside at a school auditorium) - and media covered the overflow crowd also, and speakers addressed us there. This one is being organized on much shorter notice, less people know of it and many no doubt can't clear their schedule at the last minute. But a big turnout can make national news.

these reps would bring along a potential opponent to the rep not holding the town hall meeting. Give the people attending not only good information but someone else to vote for.
