Congressman Baird apologizes (sort of) to ObamaCare opponents
Congressman Baird apologizes (sort of) to ObamaCare opponents on Wednesday. Congressman Baird released an “apology” for his remarks calling the Town Hall “protesters” un-American, brown shirts (tactics) and Timothy McVeigh “like”.

He has also announced that he will indeed hold town hall meetings of his own, stating “My hope and trust is that we can have the kinds of informative exchanges that I have valued for so long and that reveal the very best of public discourse,”
The first Town Hall will be held in Clark County:
Date: Tuesday August 18
Time: 7:00-9:30pm
Location: Skyview High School Auditorium
1300 NW 139th St Vancouver, WA 98685

Hey, great write-up. As you know, the healthcare reform bill is now signed. There are still a lot of questions about it, but we all know that it is that it will be expensive. As a small business owner, I worry about the increase in taxes. I want to hire more employees, but this plan makes that extra difficult for us little guys. Here’s the problem: If we can’t hire, how does this economy recover? Anyway… nice blog… I’m subscribed to your feed now so thanks again!

Hi, nice write-up. Well, the healthcare reform bill is now law. There are still a lot of questions about it, but one thing we all know is that it won’t be cheap. I run a small business, and I’m concerned about the increase in taxes. We all want to hire more employees, but this plan makes that extra difficult for us small guys. Here’s my big question: If we can’t hire, how does this economy recover? Anyhow… cool blog… I’m subscribed to your feed now so thanks again!
