Progressive activists continue to take a cue from the Tea Party movement with plans to funnel into town hall meetings this week while members of Congress are at home and make a ruckus.

Groups, including President Barack Obama's Organizing for Action, are turning to a newer organization, Indivisible Guide, to coordinate tactics.

Launched in December by former Congressional staffers, Indivisible is providing activists with training manuals, such as one that explains how to have a 'successful' town hall.

On the other hand, Tom Reed, who is the congressman representing my area and who has continued a tradition of holding regular town halls that his predecessors Randy Kuhl and Eric Massa partook, has openly welcomed the protesters and engaged them in discussion.
