The Reston Town Hall Experience
The Reston Town Hall Experience

By DCist Contributor Ryan J. Reilly

A high-school gymnasium was the perfect forum for a town hall meeting on health care reform hosted by Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) in Reston last night, which at times took on the atmosphere of a match between bitter rivals. Howard Dean's appearance attracted crowds on both sides of the debate, a large pool of local and national media as well as vocal protesters vying for their attention.
....

When Moran introduced Dean, a group of anti-abortion rights activists led by Randall Terry disrupted the event.


There's a YouTube video of Randall Terry at the linked site.

1. I also was at the town hall
I was also at the town hall in Reston and I was shocked that the overwhelming majority of the people at the town hall were pro reform. I don't know why the media has not mentioned this fact.
