The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) is planning on holding a town hall meeting in Lakeland, Florida concerning the controversial health care legislation.  The AARP is also planning to release advertisements in support of the health care plans throughout the nation.  

The AARP's town hall is Wednesday August 12th, 2009 at 1:00pm in Lakeland's Faith Lutheran Church at 211 Easton Drive.

Before attending this meeting or any other, keep in mind that calling people names and screaming will get you nothing more than bad publicity.  Many Democrats have flooded politics with incorrect attacks and have often demonstrated their bad manners in public forums over the years.  That is no reason for those against their current plans to act like them. They should have plenty of room inside a church to have a sizable crowd.  It's great to have signs and even be a little loud outside.  Decorum and civility should always be in mind while inside the meeting.

Be polite and read up as much as you can about the health care legislation, from credible sources, before attending a town hall.  Make sure your words are defendable and clear. If Democrats and their allies really want to debate, then lets give them a real debate!

And NO, that chain e-mail that uncle Bob sent you is not a credible source.  Let's show our anger with the plan in force and look good while doing it!  Kill them with a smile.
