A progressive group will coordinate with liberal activists to disrupt Republican town halls during the August recess, when lawmakers will face questions about Obamacare and comprehensive immigration reform.
Americans United for Change, run by a former Democratic National Committee communications head, plans to send activists to Republican town halls in swing states and even red states to target lawmakers like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).
"This is a new approach. The theory in the past has been to be stealth about the effort to confront members at town halls--but sometimes it's been too stealth, and we haven’t generated enough activity," Brad Woodhouse, the president of the group, told the Huffington Post on Wednesday. "Since everyone knows that both sides are doing this, we're going to be public-facing about it."
No remember, political discussions are VERBOTEN here. That said, I think it's good intel for anybody who might be planning on attending a local event to know that some there might be engaged in shenanigans.
Keep your head on a swivel. While they'll probably just act like obnoxious assholes you never know how those things might get out of hand.
