The event, sponsored by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), well-funded advocacy groups and President Obama\u2019s national propaganda operation, will be held at an undisclosed location in Portsmouth this evening.<\/p>\n<p>According to a press release distributed by the state Democrat Party today, the event\u2019s clandestine location is \u201cnot for publication.\u201d The gathering is not open to the public and will be limited to liberal activists and party insiders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPaul Hodes and Carol Shea-Porter have spent the entire summer dodging questions about their support for a government takeover of health care and avoiding face-to-face contact with their constituents.
