释义 |
2009A number of town hall meetings in the summer of 2009 focused on healthcare and the introduction of new laws regarding health insurance.[2] Many of these meetings were dominated by protests and angry crowds opposed to the new legislation. They were motivated by a mix of political opposition and fear that changes would harm them or their families.[3] 2011Obama held a widely discussed Twitter Town Hall.[4] Hundreds of thousands of accounts tweeted at the event, but only a small number got official responses. 2017The promise of repealing and possibly replacing the Affordable Care Act led to an increased number of town hall meetings in the winter of 2017, shortly after Donald Trump took office. These mirrored the energetic interest in town halls in the summer of 2009.[5] These meetings were again dominated by protests and fear that changes to healthcare policy would harm constituents or their families. In many communities, these were the first large town hall meetings held in over four years.[6][7] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.rop.org/halfway-through-rops-reflections-on-town-hall-madness/|title=Halfway through: ROP's Reflections on Town Hall Madness - Rural Organizing Project|date=2009-08-27|newspaper=Rural Organizing Project|access-date=2017-02-18|language=en-US}} {{:User:Shelfpea/Significant US town hall meetings}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://jokertothethief.blogspot.com/2009/08/town-hall-meeting-madness.html|title=The Joker to the Thief: Town Hall Meeting Madness|access-date=2017-02-18}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://newrepublic.com/article/61577/video-slideshow-town-hall-madness|title=Video Slideshow: Town Hall Madness|date=2009-08-11|website=New Republic|access-date=2017-02-18}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/white-house-tweet-conference/2011/07/06/gIQAhZtG1H_story.html|title=Obama holds first White House Twitter Town Hall|website=Washington Post|access-date=2017-02-18}} 5. ^Now it's the GPP's turn to dread own halls.
