over the recess, GO. We don't need an elaborate plan to counter the disruptive mobs. One informed, vocal person with some guts can disrupt the disruptors.
I'm sure that most folks here are aware of what these assholes have been doing and that they intend to further ramp up the disruptions. Even a brief tour of right wing sites is illuminating. Red State, Freeperville and other sites are posting the when, where and how.

Howard Dean to Join Rep. Moran for Town Hall on Health Care Reform Efforts
House of Representatives ^ | 08/06/2009 | Catherine Martin
Posted on Thursday, August 06, 2009 2:07:19 PM by CatherineMartin07
When: Tuesday, August 25, 2009 7:00PM - 9:00PM --Doors open at 6:00PM
Where: South Lakes High School, Auditorium 11400 South Lakes Dr. Reston, Virginia
What: Town Hall meeting hosted by Rep. Jim Moran featuring Governor Howard Dean, M.D., former Governor of Vermont, Democratic National Committee Chair Emeritus, author, and national grassroots leader on health care. The meeting will discuss current efforts in Congress to reform our nation’s health care system.
Why: Congress is attempting to craft the first major reform of our nation’s health care system in 45 years. With over 47 million Americans uninsured, medical costs rising everyday, and obtaining quality insurance coverage becoming more and more difficult, the time for action has come.
Congressman Moran has invited Dr. Dean to speak at this forum in Northern Virginia, to reflect upon the current effort given his years of experience as a leading health care expert, governor and physician. The town hall will be an opportunity for the Congressman to hear from 8th District constituents on health care, and to clarify what the reform measures in the Congress really mean for Northern Virginians.
*This event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, available on a first come first serve basis.

This might be good. We need to get thousands there. Howard Dean might lose it and start screaming.

From the diaries by Erick
Liberals have been rattled by the effectiveness of anti-Obamacare protests. We must not relent because we have some momentum. There is plenty of time left in this battle and the Left wing activists are about to launch an organized counterattack.
‘Health Care For America Now’ released a memo on August 4th entitled - Responding To Right Wing Attacks. Must Read. The AFL-CIO announced that is joining their effort and is urging other unions to join as well. They are planning a thirty day counterattack at townhall meetings to disrupt "tea-bagger" efforts. There is little doubt the unions are being mobilized to intimidate and harass. Must Read.
Their macro-national strategy is to ridicule the anti-Obamacare protesters and turn them into a mockery. True to form, the mainstream media is carrying water for Obama and his acolytes and perpetuating this line of attack.
Now, there will be real thugs, real mobs, and real organized paid operatives on the scene. The mainstream media will no doubt turn a blind eye towards the origins, motives and transgressions of these Left wing activists. But we must persevere through this hot, simmering, August recess and fight on.
In honor of the arrival of football season; time to lace ‘em up and strap ‘em on

It can't be said too often: If you can make it to your dem congressperson's town hall meeting, go. We can't afford to cede them this territory.
