Health Care Town Meetings
August 13, 2009
"For much of America, the all-American values depicted in Norman Rockwell's classic illustrations are idealistic. For those of us from Vermont, they’re realistic," Sen. Bernie Sanders said as he planned two town meetings this weekend. "That’s what we do. When Norman Rockwell lived and worked in Vermont, the people he painted were from here. That town meeting depicted in the painting called 'Freedom of Speech,' it took place in Arlington, Vt., where, as it happens, I will be hosting a town meeting on Saturday in a public park. I don’t recognize the raucous and rowdy town meetings in other parts of the country that have grabbed big headlines this month."
