Demanding a voice
Karen Brewster of Sherman Oaks wants to tell her congressman in person how strongly she dislikes President Obama's health care proposal. Tony Castro in the Daily News.
The problem is, Rep. Howard Berman, D-Van Nuys, hasn't held a town hall meeting on the issue.
"I want to go to a town hall and tell my congressman what I think," Brewster said.
"There are no words to describe how opposed I am," she added. "I don't want any government control of my health care."

Los Angeles Daily News City Hall reporter Rick Orlov writes about politics on the local, state and national stage.
Congressman Berman has not held a town hall meeting in at least four years. I believe that in this decade he has held one (and I went to that one). That is one of the problems with safe seats. No need to listen to the voters (rather than the special interests that are the backbone of the Democratic party).
