(Bloomberg) — During Congress’s August break in 2009, the Tea Party movement helped Republicans demonstrate public anger about President Barack Obama’s health care legislation by showing up at rowdy town-hall meetings.
This year, many of those same groups that now seek to deny funding for the Affordable Care Act’s implementation are having to work harder to get Republican lawmakers’ attention during their August break. Some have resorted to staging protests outside of members’ offices who refuse to hold town hall meetings.
