Protesters Compel Rep. Cravaack To Hold Free Town Hall | Tea Party Rep. Chip Cravaack (R-MN) agreed to hold a free, public town hall meeting in his district’s population center after coming under fire in recent days for holding only private, pay-per-view meetings. Activists standing in the rain confronted Cravaack as he headed to a meeting, prompting the congressman to tell the crowd, “You guys want a town hall? Be at the airport tomorrow at 4 o’clock.” The former pilot’s office confirmed the town hall at the Duluth International Airport tomorrow, but even that won’t be entirely free. As the Duluth News Tribune reports, anyone who drives to the airport will have to pay to park there. Watch the “army of [activist] grannies” confront Cravaack via Crooks and Liars:
