At the front of the hall, we placed an empty suit with his picture where his head should have been. We addressed our questions to the empty suit. The meeting was recorded, and the media was invited.

In this same community, not that many years ago, angry tea partiers disrupted town hall meetings. The police had to be called. We did not behave that way tonight. Questions can be asked and anger can be expressed without behaving like flaming assholes.
Unlike the tea partiers, this group was strictly grassroots. No one paid for buses or porta potties. The meeting place was donated.
