12-Hour Town Hall Held By House GOP Thursday

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele and House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-Ind.) are holding a joint health care town hall at 1:00 PM Eastern Time on Thursday to air their objections of reform.

The event, called "Pelosi Plan Exposed," will run for 12 hours and will "expose the 12 truths of Nancy Pelosi's health care bill."

Topics include Health Care & Small Business, Health Care & Taxes, Health Care & Seniors, Health Care & The Economy, and Health Care & The Culture Of Life.

"We're planning a twelve second town hall to explain every last detail of the GOP health care plan," said DNC National Press Secretary Hari Sevugan in response.

Pence's invitation:

Asked if he'd be comfortable with Republican candidates in 2010 who supported President Obama's stimulus package or health care reform, Steele said: "Well I'm gonna tell you honestly, that's where the line gets a little bit tricky. And you saw in the House and in the Senate that there are ramifications, because that goes against a core principle ... "[C]andidates who live in moderate to slightly liberal districts have got to walk a little bit carefully here, because you do not want to put yourself in a position where you're crossing that line on conservative principles, fiscal principles, because we'll come after you."
