What is congressman Todd Akin afraid of? Tuesday 75-100 of his constituants marched to his office to speak with him and let their concerns be known when he did not accept an invitation to meet with them at a town hall gathering. Others had been turned away from his office.

Who are these fearsome constituants? Retired teachers, clergy, moms with babies, union members, small business owners, citizens concerned about womens reproductive services, those needing jobs, people concerned about Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, students, young and old, black and white, men and women. WHy did congressman Akin turn these constituants down? They were largely liberal Democrats. Is he afraid of liberal Democrats because they care about the union worker, education, the poor, those trying to expand equal rights, the unemployed, the small business owner, the gay, the elderly, the sick?

Mr Akin ordered five county police cars to "control the marchers". The citizens were ordered to stand well away from his office in the sun in 100 degree heat. They were "trespassing".

The crowd was orderly, respectful, well behaved, and practicing Democracy.

Where were you congressman Akin and who do you represent? What are you afraid of?

what is afraid of? perhaps he does not really wish to go on the record answering questions on his positions like say medicare or social security? perhaps he makes time for teabaggers and not the public?

for a lad that wishes to run for senate, such is odd unless one has something to hide
