This article gave me an idea:

http://www.starnewsonline.com/article/20090815/ARTICLES/908159994/1177

These guys just held their own meeting when their politician didn't show up.  I was thinking that since we were denied a public meeting on the socialized medicine issue in Grafton, maybe we should just hold our own.  It could be filmed and put on the internet, and/or sent to the politician of your choice.  Maybe we could do it in the fire station?  What do you think?

dada epspecially like the idea of holding the town meeting at the time and roughly the place where all the rep "office hours" are being cancelled.

also this could become a sort of petition for redress of grievances type thing.

it will attract politicians i bet who want to get in front of the parade.

Word of mouth? Signs? Mailing invitation?

Those would work.  Maybe a notice at the Grafton store, or the fire station sign?

I love this idea, and if you'll post it on FreeKeene.com, I'll do what I can to stir up interest from this area.

Russell suggested we invite Obama and Shaheen and instruct them on how healthcare should be done.

Also for getting the word out, a sign or flyers at the dump or some such would help too.

there could be some raised eyebrows as a result of using a government building when some participants are voluntaryists.
on the other hand i admit having it there would draw more people...

How about you plan a very public, video recorded, town hall meeting and invite Shaheen and Obama to come and ask questions about your healthcare plan. If they don't show or send representatives, you can just talk amongst yourselves about your ideas and plans.
