From Tom Nelson

At the 4:12 mark, a speaker says that he hopes Castle loses his Congressional seat over his support of cap and trade, and the crowd cheers. Castle smiles briefly, then his face grows grim.

Around the 7:12 mark, Castle is booed after he says he believes in AGW.

Rich Miller, 76, of Zanesville, said he, too, is concerned about not just health care, but how the entire system is running.

“I’m sick to death of the whole deal,” Miller said. “The government is taking everything they can out of the people’s hands.”

Miller said he wants to see values in the country returned to the way they were more than a year ago.

“It scares me to death what the people in Washington are doing to us,” Miller said. “I voted for Space but when he voted for the Cap and Trade, that was it.”

Mark Hicks drove from Athens to tell Space that he’s never seen a more irresponsible government.

I haven’t found town meetings for our local representatives who voted against Markey-Waxman.
Do you think that the opponents of cap and trade are too chicken to meet with the public? Is it true that the Republican National Committee coordinated this ban on public meetings among cap and trade opponents, just to avoid public displeasure?
