PANEL OF CONSTITUTIONAL ADVOCATES JOINS CITIZENS AT ROCKFORD TOWN HALL MEETING.

As a follow up to the recent town hall meetings held by senators and house representatives across the United States, the citizens of Rockford, IL have invited a panel of 10 experts from around the state of Illinois to join in the discussion of the constitutionality of various legislation including health care reform, income taxes, and Cap and Trade.

The citizens of Illinois are invited to attend a town hall meeting on Thursday, September 24th at 7:00 PM at Veterans Memorial Hall at 211 N Main St in downtown Rockford to discuss issues including health care reform, income taxes, and cap and trade with a panel of advocates assembled from around the state of Illinois. After the recent town hall meetings with representatives, some citizens have been left with more questions than answers. Many questions were directed towards the constitutionality of various legislation including H.R. 3200 (America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009) so we've brought in some experts who can give some definitive answers to these questions and recommendations as to what can be done about it. The panel will answer and discuss the impact and constitutionality of various issues and will field questions from the public.

I have no idea if these folks are actually Constitutional Experts. In any case it is not the first time the question has been asked.

If you need a copy of the Constitution to take to the meeting you can buy it here:

The Constitution of the United States of America, with the Bill of Rights and all of the Amendments; The Declaration of Independence; and the Articles of Confederation
