Town Hall Meetings

I have heard so much news lately about these town hall meetings across the country, and I believe it is our duty as American citizens to fight for our rights. Yes, we are a free nation and we elect our government officials, but who's to say they won't be sly enough to navigate laws away from the freedoms we are founded upon? For example, passing bills before the American people have time to study and examine what they really say and making up more advising cabinets then the constitution specifies and allows. Have you ever wondered why some government officials (Obama) stray away from answering questions that get to the point of what they are doing exactly? Because what they are doing exactly is not constitutional. When the questions are not staged and someone really has a straightforward question that requires an honest and precise answer (like these town hall meetings) they edge farther and farther from the true answer. The right wing has had enough of trying to find the meaning of their words and wants the honest answer. We are trying to figure out what the government we put in place is doing with our freedoms, our money, and our jobs. I read in the POLITICO a report by Erika Lovley saying that the people at these meetings are just relieving stress and all that anger that is bottled up inside, that the government just has to wait until we can calm down into "civilized, calm debate". This is just the begining, and we will not calm down until we get our rights back and have truthful answers to our questions.
