Trying to Stop the Taping

Congressman Baron Hill (Democrat, IN) tells a man appearing at one of his Town Hall meetings he could not videotape the meeting. Did he forget the First Amendment, maybe? With today’s technology there’s no way he can stop videotaping of his meetings so we won’t know what’s going on. He told one man he “could not tell me how to be a Congressman.” Seems like he’s forgetting who is really boss here. We elected him and we can DE-elect him. I recommend we do. He’s a Democrat, but I really had to hunt to find that out. It is mentioned nowhere on his web site, to my knowledge. Meanwhile, Shiela Jackson Lee chats on the phone while a constituent asks her a question. Maybe our elected representatives think they can be rude and get away with it. (Paul Jacob)
