Britton Town Hall Meeting Draws Largest Crowd Since Beginning Campaign
(Woodstock, VT – February 5, 2010) Len Britton spoke with a crowd of about 120 people Wednesday night at a town hall meeting in Essex. The hall was standing room only with participants overflowing into the front vestibule. Attendees from all political affiliations listened and fielded question on a wide range of issues including taxes, wasteful government spending, healthcare, the troubled economy, and national security.
“This was a tremendous outpouring of the people and support. Voters are understandably upset at the state of our nation and our representation in Washington. The message is resonating – the largest round of applause came when I stated we needed to clean out Congress and start fresh. The people of Vermont want real change they can believe in – not false hope. Many want to see term limits enacted, politicians who accept special interest money held accountable, and a return to common sense governing” said Britton.
“I promised everyone last night that when I am elected to the US Senate in November these town hall meetings will continue. It is the only way anyone who cares about the voters of Vermont can truly listen to their needs. Vermonters also like a balance of power and right now we don’t have a balance of representation in Washington DC” continued Britton.
Last night wrapped up Len Britton’s “Citizen Legislator Listening Tour” town hall series. The campaign is gearing up for the next round of town hall meetings to begin in the next 3-4 weeks. Dates, times and locations will be announced soon.
