Someone call 911 ... I just had a heart attack!

Haz, you stole the perfect title for this (Holy S**t), but I still think I can run right with your amazement.

The Health care forums have a very special and elite group being hand picked and invited to these meetings.  The list is so elite that many don't even know about it.  However, I found out what is going on.  Please read the following:

Dear Michael:

As someone who has previously contacted our office to share your thoughts on issues important to you, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate in a live statewide healthcare tele-town hall meeting this Sunday, August 23 rd , at 7:00 PM.  Along with people like you from across the state, I will be joined by Dr. Denis Cortese, CEO of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, and Mary Wakefield, the highest ranking nurse in the federal government.  The three of us will discuss the need for health care reform, including ways to make the American health care system more affordable and more stable, and I will answer as many questions as I can from citizens from around the state.  
  
If you would like to participate in this important discussion, the only way to guarantee your involvement is to visit our website at http://klobuchar.senate.gov or click HERE and enter your contact information.  Once you’re registered, you’ll get an automated reminder phone call on Friday evening and you’ll be called again on Sunday to be joined to the call.  The phone number you provide will be kept private.  
 
  
I look forward to hearing from you on Sunday.

Sincerely,

Amy Klobuchar
United States Senator

I am on call this weekend, we are short handed, and last night the business level jumped up.  However, I will be making a few phone calls to try and free up some time Sunday evening.

It's the only way Dems can say they 'talk to their (hand picked) constituents and they all want government health care".

 My Rep. did the same thing but never called me back. Chicken shit bitch

I know nothing about Klobuchar. Based on the way she responded to this, and M58s previous comminique with her though, she sounds pretty stand up. She knows she's not likely to get his vote, but still spends the time to try to persude him and listen to his views. Regardless of her positions, this is the type of behavior we could use more of in DC.

I hope that you get to participate on Sunday. We'll look forward to your feedback.

I did not get to be a part of the call.  They managed to keep me so busy all weekend that I had no time for much of anything.

I have not heard anything about what took place, and there has been nothing in the news either.  However, being a teleconference I doubt there were any protests ... at least no protests that were allowed to stay connected.
