Context
Member of the United States Congress Sam Farr of the 17th distract held a town hall meeting in Hollister, California. Residents were invited to the open question and answer forum to discuss the health care reform bill that President Obama hopes to push through both the house and senate. Although town hall meetings have been held throughout the US, residents were tame compared to others, only a few people yelled and no one was kicked out. The town hall meeting was to inform the community of the facts of the Health care reform bill that is before the House of Representatives. August 12, 2009 Photos by Daniel Dreifuss
