Dear Senator Merkley, Please take the time to remove any show of impropriety of the process used to select questions by members of the audience at your Town Hall Meetings.
Thank you for your consideration, Bill Lackner,
Merkley takes bipartisan tone at town hall
The Oregon Legislature has a history of allowing public comment at legislative hearings by invitation only. Everyone else who wishes to comment are allowed to do so in the basement of the Capitol Building.
The point is allowing those in charge to control the dialog at public meetings is Censorship. The Oregon way.
Is the Ask your U.S. Senator a question during a town hall meeting a mechanism to script the questions asked by the people visiting the town hall or by those sponsoring the meeting. Is the Ticket selection process, "HONEST"
How about allowing the people who arrive first get to ask the questions first?

"How about allowing the people who arrive first get to ask the questions first?"
Hell if Merkley & Wyden used the first come first serve they wouldn't be able to control the narrative. What part of the constitution allows censorship? Didn't both Senators take an oath to uphold our constitution?
I have attended Ron Wyden town halls on the West and East sides of Oregon, my conclusion "Ron will say what he thinks the people in the audience wants to hear. In fact at one of his town halls in eastern Oregon I asked if he would support flushing the smolts during the out migration. Ron's response was to go on a tirade that we are not going to tear down the dams. He never answered my question, instead he played to the crowd and belittled me when I didn't say one word about dam removal.
Now Ron now supports removing the lower snake river dams?
The snake dams are flow through and are not for water storage. They should never have built them in the first place. Here is link to the snake dam removal and the person who is putting out this information worked as engineer for the Army Corp and is now retired.
