Baird
If you are angered over the Cap and Trade or Healthcare reform,  be careful how you express your opinion, and unfortunately, you won’t be allowed to express your opinion to Brian Baird in person….he’ll have his head in the sand.

It appears the congressman from Western Washington (Brian Baird) is afraid of the people he is supposed to represent , so he is going to have town hall meetings by phone.  It is a story featured on the front page of the Columbian newspaper. www.columbian.com  He says he is afraid of the mob like people that remind him of Nazism and Brown shirts and this will keep him from hecklers and appearing on YouTube.  Instead of appearing in person, where “extremists” would have “the chance to shout and make YouTube videos,” Baird said Wednesday, he’s holding what he calls “telephone town halls” instead.

In the Columbian Baird said he has no way to be sure whether hateful protests would happen if he held live town halls while visiting the district next week.

“We’ll have to see how this works out,” Baird said. “If someone says you’re going to walk into an ambush, you don’t do it just to prove there’s an ambush.”

I thought he was a publicly elected official.
