A Colorado blogger shares an e-mail circulated by the Service Employees International Union in preparation for town hall meetings held by GOP Rep. Mike Coffman.

My favorite recommendation (other than urging people to wear green rather than purple — so they won’t be ID’d as SEIU plants?):

If you plan on staying outside the building (or have to because the venue becomes full), please make and bring a sign. The anti-reform signs are homemade and look like they are real constituents (some of them are constituents, but some are paid to be there). 

Everyone has the right to petition the government for redress of grievances, of course. Even paid constituents.
