Town Halls gone wild (Click here for full story)
Screaming constituents, protesters dragged out by the cops, congressmen fearful for their safety — welcome to the new town-hall-style meeting, the once-staid forum that is rapidly turning into a house of horrors for members of Congress.
On the eve of the August recess, members are reporting meetings that have gone terribly awry, marked by angry, sign-carrying mobs and disruptive behavior. In at least one case, a congressman has stopped holding town hall events because the situation has spiraled so far out of control.

Frazier seeking Lexington House seat - Danny Frazier wants a new political title. The Lexington Town Councilman is running for state representative in the Republican primary in House District 69.
The district sprawls across a mix of established and new neighborhoods in West Columbia, Oak Grove, St. Andrews, the town of Lexington and the south-eastern shore of Lake Murray.
“It’s time state government stop the bickering and state working together to bring about economic development and jobs,” Frazier said in letter sent to voters.
Frazier, a builder, has been a town councilman for four years. Incumbent Ted Pitts is running for lieutenant governor.
Sen. David Thomas, R-Greenville is running for Congress, challenging Republican U.S. Rep. Bob Inglis for the 4th Congressional District seat.
Capitol to close weekends
South Carolina’s State House will no longer be open on the weekends. State Rep. Rex Rice said Friday a joint legislative committee that oversees the State House and its grounds has decided to lock up the Capitol outside of regular business hours to save the money it pays security guards to check visitors.
