Kansas City, MO
MoveOn members and other progressives "dominated" a town hall event organized by Senator Claire McCaskill, a critical vote on health care reform. After the event, she said, "It's certainly the most vociferous support I've seen for attempts to reform health care so far. No question about it." Check out the local press coverage.
