we need to demand that Representative Melancon hold a town hall meeting in our area before returning to washington.  it is our right to speak directly to him on these issues.  email him now and reaquest a meeting with us, here on our turf.  he was here when he was asking for your vote wasn't he.  now, during these important times, wouldn't he want to meet with us to see how we feel about these issued so that he is able to accurately represent our wishes.  that is his job isn't it?

    " We should demand that Charlie Melancon meet with his constituents! Join me for a protest in front of his office at 124 E. Main St., New Iberia Sunday Aug. 24th at 10 am. The theme of this protest will be: Meet With The People, You Work For Us!

    If you plan on attending please post your support on this forum so I can get an idea of how many people will be attending! "

    " I've tried calling his New Iberia office and get the voice mail everytime. I've asked for a call back but will not be holding my breath.

    I was at the Vitter Town Hall meeting in Lafayette on Monday. About 800 turned out with about 98% against the healthcare reform legislation.

    Lets go Charlie - lets have a townhall meeting in New Iberia. We promise to be civil and simply ask questions - about healthcare, cap and trade,union check off and HR 45 the gun control bill. Nothing difficult. Blue Dog or just lying on Nancy's porche? "

    " Why do people think this is a great thing that will stimulate the economy? It will be just like the loans for the houses. You may be able to afford the downpayment but you will not be able to pay the note each month and we'll be back to square one again repossessing all the cars again. Not too smart. "

    " Since they won't print my last comment I will tone it down a bit. Of course Charlie is against the health plan, he is going to be running again. It was like the pork plan, Charlie voted for it because no one was running against him, Landreau voted against it as she was running for reelection. Now it is reversed. Once Charlie is reelected and, he will be, he will continue to vote against who he represents, same as Landreau. It is called politics, do what ever it takes to win, the voters will keep you in office "

    " LOL ... Meloncon's a coward. Vote him out at the next opportunity.

    And for the hack who suggests we're all Republicans and we lost the election and therefore should role over and play dead I say this - we're not all Republican, and you're cowardly side didn't roll over and play dead on the Iraq war issue when you clearly LOST the 2004 election. Good for the goose - good for the gander. Now here's your crying towel. "

    Voice your disapprovals by becoming a member and you get notified of how they vote, and YOU DO HAVE a voice!!
    They want to get reelected so they do value your opinion. "

    " I know for a fact that Charlie Melancon is AGAINST Obama's healthcare plan!
    Senator Mary Landrieu is all FOR Obama's plan! She is being bombarded with letters of disapproval.
    I am a registered republican voter, however I always vote for a person rather than a political party. There IS a way small businesses can voice their opinions to their Congressman and/or Senator. National Write Your Congressman... look at their website. You can easily learn how they voted. The public DOES indeed have a voice. But if you're going to complain and not take action then SHUT UP!!!

    " To Citizen,

    It has come out how Obama used Acorn and the SEIU to pay for people to get out and get people registered to vote and get him elected. Also how they pay people to protest. Well he just woke a sleeping giant, the middle working class who have jobs and usually can't attend rallies. Now that they are attending rallies they are mobs. Obama and his lying cronies will be in for a rude awakening in the 2010 elections. And yes the Obama healthcare will be his waterloo. He's losing popularity faster then any president in history. "

    " When Mr. Melancon first ran I thought he would do good for the people. He was a GOOD man. Now I am sorry to say that this GOOD man sold himself. It is disappointing to sell your soul just for YOUR benefit. I hope Mr. Melancon can live with that. There's always a price to pay. It may not be now Mr. Melancon but you will face your maker one day. "

    " Actually another citizen, while your point is well taken, the money is being borrowed from the Chinese, and will have to be paid back double, triple, and quadruple by our grandchildren and great grandchildren. Their future has been stolen by Obama and the idiot democrats. At least this particular program (though a waste) isn't going the usual deadbeats. "

    " Well said! It has been said Charlie Melancon cut a deal with the Washington Dems to run against Vitter and when he looses he will have a high paying position under the Obama administration. It is suspect they will be redistricting his congressional district and feared he would lose his seat. "

    Remember this when he comes around begging for your vote when he runs for the Senate against Vitter. "

    " Charlie Melancon has already had a town hall meeting here recently. He does not have to have another meeting just to allow fanatic republicans who lost the presidential election to yell at him and not listen to his answers.
    Many people have praised the cash for clunkers bill as it has done a lot to stimulate car sales and result in more autos being made in Detriot.
    Charlie is doing all of us a good job in Washington, leave him alone. "

    " Don't expect ANY town hall meeting from most of them. This morning Congressman Melancon was on Bob Delgiorno's radio call in show on WWL 870 and Bob was lighting him up on the healthcare bill. Bob was going off. For those that don't know, this isn't a show where people ever argue. It is usually a very laid back show. For Charlie to get savaged like this by Bob, I don't expect Charlie to expose himself to the "angry masses." "

    " I would bet my neck on a block that Ole' Charlie will NOT have a town hall meeting here or anywhere else. The politicians are big stuff while they are in Washington, but when it's time to go home to face their constituents, they will not show their face. They are too scared because if you watch fox news the town hall meetings show that people are sick and tired of what's going on and are voicing their opinions. Charlie will be a NO SHOW!!!! "
