In Illinois, two Republican lawmakers sent a letter to Obama this week complaining that Democratic organizers scheduled meetings between them and their constituents without ever notifying them, misleading their constituents into going to town halls on the wrong day.
Illinois Reps. Mark Kirk and Judy Biggert wrote that their constituents had apparently signed up for meetings to discuss health care reform with them after receiving an Aug. 9 e-mail from BarackObama.com urging them to do so.
"However, the names of our constituents and the times they wished to visit were never communicated to us," the letter said.
As a result, the lawmakers claimed more than 20 constituents came to their district offices on Monday.
"They are mischaracterizing this -- which is not surprising if you look at the falsehoods Republicans are spreading on this issue," he wrote. "OFA sent an e-mail to all its supporters asking them to sign up for drop bys with every House and Senate office -- Democrat and Republican -- to drop off a flyer in support of heath insurance reform."
Woodhouse said the e-mail advised supporters that "they should call ahead to make sure the office was open and that if they wanted to do more than drop by the office they should schedule a meeting on their own."
Since I didn't see any emails myself I can't comment.
If they're receiving e-mail from barackobama.com, they likely are proponents of health care reform or too stupid to tell it's from an illegitimate source. The neo-con redneck losers already hijacked the tea party movement. The fewer that come to the townhall protests, the better.
