Congressman Leonard Lance is ready to face the music - sort of. He is holding a town hall meeting in Westfield tomorrow at 5pm in Westfield at the Westfield Town Hall where he should be asked to explain himself. But as is the habit of Lance and his colleagues, he has made absolutely zero effort to let those of us who might - ahem - disagree with him, know about the event. Nice try, congressman.

Below are the details on the event and some questions I'm betting the congressman does not have a good answer to. If you have time this afternoon or evening and are in the neighborhood, please stop by. Oh, and get it on video. This ought to be good.

How do tax breaks for millionaires create jobs?
Why are you cutting benefits instead of cutting the cost of Medicare?
The Bush tax cuts created a net zero jobs. How are these different?
How do tax breaks for oil companies help me?
Why should seniors pay for tax breaks for Wall Street billionaires?
Name one specific tax loophole for corporations that's closed in the budget you supported.
If you care so much about saving Medicare, why did you vote to make it bankrupt 10 years earlier?
Why should the middle class pay for tax breaks for the rich?
Since you voted to end Medicaid, how are you going to pay for nursing home care?
Why did you vote to subsidize big oil companies?
Will you vote to let Medicare negotiate with drug companies for cheaper medicine?
