New Jersey 101.5 FM has been blasting Senator Lautenberg, Congressman Frank Pallone, and others, for not letting the public know when or where Town Hall Meetings will be held. Calls to their offices are met with
lies, excuses, and hangups. Call backs are answered by a voice recording that they are busy and cannot answer the phone.

This is a great clip, Normn8or. I'm sending it to everyone in my address book.
