See also Hoosierpundit, who’s also covering this district pretty thoroughly, it looks like.
Let me address Hill’s points:
- This is not your town hall meeting. It is your constituents’, which you are providing them for their benefit.
- You work for them.
- You do not set the rules. Your constituents do.
- You work for them.
- The fact that you had to repeat that indicates that your constituents have a firmer grasp of this fact than you do.
- You work for them.
- Again, this is their town hall meeting; you are there to be accountable.
- You work for them.
- They are going to tell you how to run your Congressional office.
- You work for them.
- Nobody gives a tinker’s dam about why you don’t want to allow people filming you doing your job.
- You work for them.
- And, hey (and to evoke Jim Geraghty)! You ended up in a compromising position on YouTube anyway. Go figure.
