Dozens Attend Elkins Town Hall Meeting

Folks in Elkins voiced their concerns about the government Tuesday night at a town hall meeting.

Dozens of people filled the Elkins National Guard Armory for the gathering.  Officials say they're fed up with the taxation, health care legislation, and Government control, claiming it's unconstitutional. 

Leaders hope to inform citizens on how to contact their government officials.  "We want to get those who are conservatives awake and going and let them know that we're here to inform and keep them informed on what's going on," says Mike House, "Tea Party" organizer.

Officials invited West Virginia's U.S. Senators and Representatives to the meeting, but they weren't able to attend because of the legislative session.
