| Grayson picks union hall for "balanced" town hall meeting David Damron Orlando Sentinel 12:29 p.m. EDT August 17, 2009 | U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Orlando, picked a somewhat small union hall to host a town hall meeting tonight at 7:45, but a spokesman said the location was not picked to "stack the deck" and avoid critics. Grayson's spokesman Todd Jurkowski said moments ago that the choice of venue -- the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union hall at 820 Virginia Dr., which holds 125 to 150 people -- was picked because it was free, available, and would not hold a crowd so large as to become unwieldy. A union meeting will be breaking up right before the meeting is to start -- but Jurkowski said the timing of Grayson's session was not planned to keep out critics. Posted using ShareThis |
This reminds me of all the innocent guys in prison. Somehow, they all got framed or something. Similarly, the honorable Grayson
- is not stacking the deck,
- is not avoiding critics,
- did not time the event to pre-fill the hall with IBEW union thugs,
- and did not withhold notice until the day of the event to keep it out of the news as long as possible.
And if a politician claiming innocence is not enough, it appears that the address they published is just a narrow storefront, not designed for crowds. Maybe this is just a coincidence.
And regular IBEW meetings are mostly on Tuesday nights. Why all of a sudden on a Monday night?

What a profile in courage. Honorable Alan Grayson, multi-zillionaire, cannot risk exposure to his constituents without a bodyguard from IBEW. What a joke.
