A townhall during the workday at a union office.
Gutless.
Just a hunch here, but I’m thinking it will be a very receptive crowd.

When Congressman Tim Bishop’s Office sent out a press release that he would be holding a Town Hall at Long Island SEIU Headquarters we showed up and Bishop stayed away (the wimp).
Things were touch and go for a while until more of our folks showed up, but in the end the union guys (and there were several unions involved) left at the stroke of five.
Here’s the report:

Best advice, get there early and own the territory before the unions arrive.
Go get ‘em!
