Sorry.</div><div><br></div>The robo calling that Rodney Davis is doing is targeting just about everyone: He says something that Occupy would agree with, but the parenthetical statement is hard core Tea Party. He's calling Democrats as well as Republicans -- or I am assuming that the house where I am a guest is a Democrat house, but then I am not a Democrat or a Republican so who knows.<div>

I'm pretty sure I can do this & will bring camera. I know his
time starts at 5pm -- somewhere (any idea where in the fest?), but
do we have an idea how long his time might last? I'm currently
slated to be at a booth at 6, could shift that if we think Davis
will be long winded.<div><div><br>

<div>Part of the reason for choosing that is that there are a
number of groups nationally focused on pressing the question
of cutting military spending at town halls, and if we could
upload video of that, I think it could spread around and have
a bigger effect.</div>

<p>Robert,</p>
<p><em>USA Today</em> reports this Congress is one of
the least productive in the last 50 years. It's
bankrolled by corporate interests and has failed to
hold Wall Street accountable for the financial
crisis. <strong>This month members of Congress are
back in their districts holding town halls -- now is
the time for us to stand up, hold them accountable,
and blast them with the national spotlight.</strong></p>
<p>We're asking PCCC members across the country to
attend and videotape local town halls and press
members of Congress on campaign finance, Wall Street
accountability and other key progressive
issues. Videos of tough questions and audience
response at town hall events have even gone viral in
the past. </p>
<p>There's a town hall this week in your area -- we need
someone in your district to attend and ask a question
or capture video for our website. Can we count on you?
<a href="http://act.boldprogressives.org/go/9527?place=61801&t=1&akid=9090.608965.4WBgAY" target="_blank">Click here to RSVP.</a></p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote>Event: Rodney Davis Town Hall<br>
Saturday, August 25, 5:00 PM <br>
Urbana Sweetcorn Festival<br>
Urbana, IL</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>By getting progressives to these town hall
events, we can get our members of Congress on the
record and build nation-wide pressure for
progressive policies. </strong>Help make this happen
by attending the town hall in your district!</p>
<p><a href="http://act.boldprogressives.org/go/9527?place=61801&t=2&akid=9090.608965.4WBgAY" target="_blank">Sign up to videotape or attend your
town hall event!</a></p>
<p>Thanks for being a bold progressive.</p>
<p>--Amanda Johnson and the PCCC team </p>
