One NC congressman is not afraid of holding town hall meetings in his district.  The Mooresville Tribune reports here that Republican Patrick McHenry (10th district) held a town hall in Mooresville last night attended by 150 in the lobby, 361 people in the Town Commission Chambers and 1,000 outside trying to get in. 

Steve Bennett asked, concerning health care, “What is the hidden agenda?”

“Control,” McHenry answered.

“More government control.”

Bennett later wielded a copy of conservative commentator Glen Beck’s book, “Common Sense,” and the crowd applauded.

But the loudest applause came following the comments of Arlene Reilly, who said she first voted for Dwight Eisenhower.

“I’m very upset with the president of the United States going across
the ocean to other countries and putting our country down,” Reilly
said. “I’ve never heard another president speak about the United States
in such a denigrating way.”

Following the applause, McHenry said, “There’s your consensus.”

McHenry plans to hold town hall meetings in all 10 counties in the
10th District. Meetings this week will be in Catawba (tonight), Lincoln
(Wednesday) and Caldwell (Thursday). The congressman encouraged all
those from Iredell who could not get in Monday to see him at another
location.

In addition, McHenry voted against the stimulus plan and hates cap and trade.
