OK Leads Nation In August Town Halls, 56 So Far
Oklahoma lawmakers set town hall meeting pace

WASHINGTON — Some people just want to yell at Washington.
But that’s hard to do, so they yell at their congressman instead.
“The government has ruined our lives,” one woman shouted at Rep. James Lankford last month in Oklahoma City.
“The man is a fraud,” a woman in Afton, referring to President Barack Obama, yelled at Rep. Markwayne Mullin.
Some people actually want to yell at their congressman — about votes, positions, or whatever real or perceived slight that’s angering them that day.
