GOP Rep's Office Nixes Obamacare Town Hall Because A Reporter Was Present


Rep. Peter Roskam's (R-IL) office cancelled a meeting with constituents about Obamacare on Wednesday when a staffer for the congressman learned that a reporter was present, according to the Aurora Beacon-News.

Constituent Sandra Alexander told the Beacon-News that she arranged the meeting about the Affordable Care Act with Roskam's staff ahead of time and informed them that she would be bringing along a small group.

But staffers cancelled the meeting before it could begin, ostensibly because there were members of the media present

Roskam's outreach coordinator, Eddie Corrigan, told the Beacon-News that the meeting was closed to the press.

in point of fact, it was because too many constituents showed up. my sister was there. the call went up on fb, and the place got slammed.
