Hey, here's a Republican's town hall meeting schedule

This just in from Kansas Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins: a schedule of town hall meetings!

Jenkins is a Republican who represents the 2nd District (mostly the entire eastern edge of the state, except for Johnson County). What do you bet she's not expecting any anti-health-care-reform disrupters?

Actually, it sounds like she supports the obnoxiousness that's been going on at Democrats' town hall meetings recently.

As she wrote in a newsletter last week:
We've seen Americans all across the country rally and speak up about the government takeover of health care that is being pushed by the majority in Congress. I share their concerns that the health care proposal before Congress will take us in the wrong direction and I stand firmly against any government takeover of health care.
Not that we'd encourage any uncivil discourse. We're just noticing that the closest it looks like she'll be coming to The Pitch's distribution area appears to be a 4 p.m. meeting at the Dole Center in Lawrence on Tuesday, September 1.

After all, Jenkins is looking forward to hearing from every Kansan: "Being home this month will let me spend even more time with the good folks of Kansas," Jenkins says in her announcement. "Folks are concerned about the out-of-control spending, increasing debt and the rapid expansion of the federal government. I share their concerns and look forward to listening to them and discussing ideas to turn our nation around."
