InCommon Town Hall Meeting

19 October 2009

Town Hall Meeting

When, in some obscure country town, the farmers come together to a special town-meeting, to express their opinion on some subject which is vexing the land, that, I think, is the true Congress, and the most respectable one that is ever assembled in the United States.

- Henry David Thoreau
