Oakland was the last stop in a tour of Democratic town hall meetings across the nation. The meeting entitled "Speak Out for Good Jobs Now" was an opportunity for citizens to voice their opinions about the lack of jobs, budget cuts and the need for better jobs. "Most people don't get to go to Washington and speak," said Congresswoman Lee. "These events provide feedback from you so that we can take your dialogue directly back to Washington."
