FOXNews.com - Dems Race to Pass Health Care Bill as Tea Partiers Plan Town Hall Wave: "Democrats are racing the clock to pass health care reform ahead of a wave of Tea Party-driven town hall meetings planned for the spring recess -- the kind of gatherings that nearly derailed the package last August.
But there's a big difference this time around. Last summer, Democrats were encouraged to hold the town hall meetings, and they were blindsided by the backlash, which was recorded and promoted in countless YouTube clips. This time around, they have a good idea of what's coming -- and they're lying low, in case work on health care carries over into the recess.
'There's not been the same push as there was in August to encourage members to do town halls,' said Stephanie Lundberg, spokeswoman for House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer."
