Kit Bond having invitation only town hall on Monday with McCain and McConnell as his special guests
What: Health Care Reform Forum with Senators Kit Bond, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell & John McCain
Where: Children's Mercy Hospital, 2401 Gillham, Kansas City, MO
When: Monday, August 31, from 11am to 12:00pm (Please arrive no later than 10:45am)

-McConnell, McCain and Bond are hosting a health care reform forum at Children's Mercy on Monday, August 31, from 11-12noon.
-The event is closed to the public.
-Those attending have been hand-picked by Bond's office and include people from various backgrounds and affiliations.
-They are expecting to invite between 75-100 people.
-Everyone attending has to have their names on the list and bring with them a photo id for security at the event.
- McConnell is apparently going around the country to tout his health care reform plan, and this is one of the stops.
-The 75-100 people will be there to hear about the Republican plan for health care reform.
-Not sure of the format yet. We're not sure if attendees will be allowed to ask questions or weigh in on what they are looking for in healthcare reform.
- The event will be held on the 2nd floor in a conference room. They are expecting "tons" of press - national and local.


Stand with us for Health Care. Stand with us.

1. Not only is Bond a cheat
He's a gutless cheat, as well. Can't even face his own constituents. It would be a real shame to have a bunch of heat-packing pro-public option/single payer demonstrators out front. I'll bet we'd see a very different story than the one the Freeperati wrote earlier this month. Busted heads, ripped signs, and wholesale arrests would be the order of the day.

2. If it's invitation only is it really a "town hall"?
Or is just mutual masturbation between the senator and his constituents?

A giant health care circle jerk completely divorced from reality.
