Karendc is
liveblogging at a packed town hall meeting in Virginia. Representatives Murtha and Moran are speaking.
It's also available on CSPAN2 according to one of the DCP bloggers.
Karen collected some great quotes from the audience prior to the session starting.
I just walked around this now-VERY-packed room to ask people what they hope to hear tonight. Responses:
Lois: "I want to hear we are getting out quickly." Jug: (her husband): "I want to hear from a strong Democrat." They are from Wyoming.
Tom and Elaine from Virginia: "We want to hear that Murtha has support from Congress."
Jack from Alexandria: "That Dems in Congress can begin the groundswell of resistence--getting out of this damnable war."
Susan from Virginia: "I want to hear what he saw in Iraq. He's been there."
Mary from Virginia: "I want to know why there are no young people here. This is about a war and they are affected."
John, in a wheelchair, a Catholic Worker: "I want to hear about the U.S withdrawing from Iraq."
Stan, from Falls Church: "I want an action plan. What is he going to do? dates? strategy?
David Swanson: "The best would be that these two Congressman support ending the occupation completely: no permanent bases, no rescue forces, no concessions to the idea that illegal occupation is acceptable. If I'm REALLY lucky--step out in support of holding the Bush Administration responsible; support Rep. Conyers' House Resolution 635."
