Update:

Tom Murse of Capitol Punmanship will be live streaming the townhall meeting over at LancasterOnline.com

*******************************************

Joe Pitts will be holding a town hall meeting to discuss health care this Thursday 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Conestoga Valley High School.

Nothing is more important to me than hearing from my constituents. In the many meetings I have had with them this month they have expressed to me a multitude of concerns with the current system but also with the proposed legislation. I look forward to meeting many more 16th District residents on Thursday night in an open forum where I can share my views, listen to concerns and opinions and answer questions.

RSVP on facebook.

If you have any questions or comments this is the place to be Thursday night. I’ll be there, video camera in hand, to report what transpires.

Compare your opponent to Adolf Hitler. This is your heavy artillery, for when your opponent [...]
