Shout out to Forsythe County Dems

I attended my first Thom Tillis town hall and am still recovering. I feel as if I have just discovered that aliens walk among us, aliens with very big sprayed helmets of bubble hair, polyester instead of skin and very angry red faces. Please see a somewhat censored description of my experience at http://www.progressnc.org/2011/10/its-time-to-stand-up-and-demand-some-a... and, I beg of you, attend any Tillis town hall meetings that come to your area then stand up and make him answer to you. Enough of a free ride for this man! Taxpayers should not be forced to bankroll a feel-good, pre-election, re-election tour which ignores them.
Beyond that, I wanted to publicly thank the Forsythe County Dems and some other progressive citizens who turned out, not only for standing out in front of the venue with picket signs but also for rescuing me when not one, but two, of my video cameras failed and helping me capture some footage of the speaker. You guys were great. Gotta love those Winston-Salem Dems!
Too few
Too few people exercise their right to participate in the democratic process after leaving the voting booth. You've got to tell legislators how you think and feel on the issues and ask them the tough questions, especially if they're in your home town.
Kudos to the young woman who did!
