[madamesilverspurs]

9. How about some signs

that encourage redirecting re-election campaign donations to Planned Parenthood instead?

10. Maybe he needs to be greeted with a Dem version of a "Tea Party"

I think all of the health insurance compromisers in the House should face crowds of angry, vocal Democratic voters when they come home.

It's an object lesson. You pander to the teabaggers so they leave you alone, you have to deal with us instead.

[populistdriven]

12. yup, alerts sent out to as many ofa groups in the area as i could

(max 10)

[BeHereNow]

27. Yes, yes and yes!

I hope the same.

14. I wish I could go. First question I would ask is what is his connection to The Family religious

group. Did anyone see Maddow show last night? Wake up people. Start questioning these ties that bind to crazies.

[BeHereNow]

22. Haha! I just expressed the same sentiment-

Sadly, many of the old DUers who followed them are gone...

15. Oughta be a lot of "I object!" out of the audience.

[populistdriven]

16. I hope someone from DU makes it... I am in FL

[Lars39]

18. I'd love to read a first-hand account of his welcome. :^)

[BeHereNow]

24. Someone in the area needs to print and pass copies of the Sharlet article.

for the audience consumption there...

19. Be sure to show up and bring your guns

21. Too bad some DUers in the area, familiar with "the family" don't go and question him

about his affiliation with the cult.

I don't think there are many DUers left who are even familiar with it.

It's all been sucked down the memory hole... as planned.

26. Escanaba's nearest population centers are in Wisconsin. Here's a map ...

If I were Stupak and wanted to hold a townhall with few in attendance, I'd pick Escanaba.

[BeHereNow]

28. Oh yeah- perfect, just TOO perfect.

No debate, no dissent.

Just a public record of his effort equivalent to sucking
part of the ocean through his sippy straw and saying,
"Look, I have just made major efforts to solve the problem with the dying coral reefs."

ASSHOLE.

29. Escanaba is in the middle of nowhere- the perfect choice

That part of the Upper Penninsula is a pretty sleepy place and many of the residents are tuned out to the world around them. How else could they elect such a loser?

[Bozita]

32. The only other candidate for "Capital of Nowhere" was Houghton.

But even Houghton is two and a half hours away from Escanaba.

Best place ever for a townhall. Escanaba.

34. Actually I live in his district and none of those areas are very populated

If you look down at the very bottom of that map, where district 1 meets up with district 5, that's about where I live - and that's where the most people in the district are (which is not saying much, it's still pretty small, relatively speaking). It would take about 5 hours to drive from here to Escanaba so there's no way I could go - this is a HUGE district and I really don't get how it's zoned. I am also really not at all proud to be in Stupak's district!

25. Link to my thread on his "Family" association. Load the cannons.

Any one who is able to attend should take this article with them and confront the
fascist fuck about his cult membership.

35. Shoot, that's one town hall I'd really like to attend!

Unfortunately, I'm too far away.

Hope that lots of the people who attend give him a huge pile o' crap!
