Karaffa invites Sen. Webb & Warner to Valley townhall meeting

~Using own money to rent facility and advertise event~

His name is David Karaffa, he is 25 years old, and he is an Augusta County resident. He's a cardiac RN at the local hospital and he has many questions about the Democrat nationalized health care bill.

David wants to talk to his U.S. senators about his concerns. The problem is his senators are nowhere to be found. He has tried calling, emailing, sending faxes -- everything he can think of -- with no response other than form letters that don't answer his questions.

Since Jim Webb and Mark Warner were not holding any townhall events anywhere in the Commonwealth of Virginia, David decided to invest his own money and rent the auditorium at Riverheads High School in southern Augusta County and set it up so all the senators have to do is show up.

Invitations have been sent to Sen. Webb and Warner.

Friday morning David called Glenn Beck's conservative radio program to spread the news about his townhall meeting. He went on the air and explained his concerns and why he felt it necessary to go out on his own to set up a townhall meeting that may end up with the names of the senators on signs sitting on empty chairs.

But a townhall meeting ... with or without the senators ... gives local residents the opportunity to bring their concerns about nationalized health care to a public forum. This young man is moving forward in his quest to receive answers to his health care questions.

Obama: "Get in their face" ... America, read HR 3200

Americans ... that vast "silent majority" of law-abiding citizens ... are silent no more as they speak out against government programs being jammed down their throats, showing up at townhall meetings to get answers from their elected representatives.

Now the White House is throwing out accusations that townhalls are being taken over by "organized mobs." Apparently the masses are not being the sheep the Democrats would want them to be. Angry lefty liberals are swarming conservative blogs to slam the townhall protests ... hypocritical minions with short (or selective) memories, protesting the very tactics they have used for years.

The staggeringly huge "stimulus bill" was passed earlier this year without Congress reading the details. The government is micromanaging automobile companies and banks, its fingers reaching farther and farther into private enterprise.

Now, with the 1,017-page HR 3200 socialized health care bill* being forced onto unwilling Americans, they are pushing back ... speaking up ... making their voices heard. Hundreds are showing up for townhall meetings that in the past saw 15 or 20 participants.

In what should be a two-way discussion between electeds and constituents, the White House is now critical and accusing the gatherings of being organized mobs, trying to silence and cease discussion so to keep the masses in the dark on the wicked details of socialized health care ... separate and isolate a la Sun Tzu.

Don't insult the intelligence of the American public.

A lead "community organizer" is now the President of the United States. In this video he can be heard telling people, "I need you to go out and talk to your friends ... I want you to argue with them and get in their face."

Mr. President, we are getting in your face. We are trying to get your attention. We don't want to sign on the dotted line without knowing the facts. Why are you afraid of that? What are you hiding? Why the rush? Why not practice some of that "transparent government" you campaigned about while running for president?

My folks used to say, "When in doubt ... don't."

An issue as big as nationalized health care needs serious debate and discussion with information given as questions are asked. It is only common sense! I was raised to check the details ... read the fine print ... be sure of what I am signing before I sign it.

Why are the Democrats not doing the same?

Read HR 3200.* Then read an abridged version that highlights the problems with the bill.

Sen. Jim Webb and Sen. Mark Warner have no townhall meetings for Virginia on their schedules. We need to hear from our elected representatives. Call and ask for a townhall meeting so you can be informed of this important impending vote.

Jim Webb: (202) 224-4024
Mark Warner: (202) 224-2023

* Many changes were made to HR 3200 on Friday, July 31, and those changes may not be published online for several weeks.
