Was "invited" to a" town hall" meeting with Paulsen [View all]

well, I got a phone call. I was actually interested but, again, out of the blue the call. It was shortly after 9:00 am and we were getting ready to have breakfast (perks of retirement, having breakfast in mid morning..)

So I stayed on the line for a few minutes. Someone, identified himself as a Republican who worked for Rudy Boschwitz complained about the increase in drug prices. Actually mentioned Franken and Klonuchar as working on this. Paulsen was aheming, kinda agreeing and then I realized that I really did not have time to listen to everything. Did not even know how many "participants" were waiting in queue.

He gave the phone number of his office if one wants to be called for future "town hall meeting," though I've read letters of people putting their names and numbers and never getting called.

But, hey, he does have town hall meetings
