In a memo sent out on Thursday, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney outlined the
blueprint for how the union conglomerate would step up recess activities on
health care reform and other topics pertinent to the labor community. The
document makes clear that Obama allies view the town hall forums as ground zero
of the health care debate. It also uses the specter of the infamous 2000 recount
"Brooks Brothers" protest to rally its members to the administration's
side.
The principal battleground in the campaign will be town hall meetings
and other gatherings with members of Congress in their home districts," reads
the memo. "We want your help to organize major union participation to counter
the right-wing "Tea-Party Patriots" who will try to disrupt those meetings, as
they've been trying to do to meetings for the last month.
