Spokeswoman: Congressman wasn’t invited to rally
~Robert Zullo
~HOUMA — They demanded to know his whereabouts, scoffed at his absence and shouted for a recall. During a planned “Recess Rally” in front of Houma’s federal building Saturday, where more than 200 people protested proposals for national health-care reform, there were chants of “We want Charlie,” “Chicken Charlie” and “Where is Charlie?”
They were talking about U.S. Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-Napoleonville, who many in the crowd said they expected to be at the rally, which lasted from noon to 2 p.m. in front of the federal building, where Melancon keeps an office.
But a spokeswoman said Monday that the three-term congressman was never invited.
