U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan and the Cape Fear Tea Party Patriots

BY CAROLINE CURRAN • BEACON STAFF WRITER
Saying she has continually ignored their requests for a town hall meeting to voice concerns, members of the Cape Fear Tea Party Patriots, We the People of Brunswick County, N.C., and various other grassroots organizations gathered outside the Wilmington Hilton hoping to get the attention of U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan.
Hagan, the first-term Democratic senator from Greensboro, spoke at the Hilton on Friday, March 5, while touring Southeastern North Carolina, where she was greeted by hundreds of people who wanted to be heard—mainly on the topics of healthcare reform and government spending.
Hagan voted in favor of the Senates version of the healthcare reform bill Dec. 24, 2009.
Joe Kronski, with the grassroots organization We the People of Brunswick County, N.C., said the Tea Party convened to send Hagan a message.
The people are here because Senator Hagan has refused to meet with us. Shes refused to do a town hall meeting. You can never contact her. Her phones are always down. Her e-mails systems are always full. Weve gone to Washington to speak to her, and we cant get to talk to her. This is the first time since she was campaigning that shes appeared in this area, Kronski said.
