"Not everyone at Monday’s town hall meeting could have their question heard. But Dahlkemper selected a broad sampling from the crowd, and it was evident that she was not hiding from tough questions or selecting only people who agreed with her. To her credit, Dahlkemper is getting out in her district and hosting town hall meetings to help inform people about the latest version of healthcare reform_ Too often, members of Congress stay in Washington and are influenced more by lobbyists and campaign contributors than average Americans. As Dahlkemper noted at the end of her visit to Butler Monday afternoon, these town hall meetings are democracy in action." - Butler Eagle Editorial (August 2009)
