HAGERSTOWN -- Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin slogged his way through a town hall meeting centered on health care Wednesday afternoon, as a boisterous crowd shouted back, clapped and interrupted him.

Frederick residents turned out for the chance to make opinions known at the town hall, hosted at nearby Hagerstown Community College.

Nationally, town hall meetings on health care have been drawing headlines because of the large crowds and heated debates.

"I am here today because I believe in town hall meetings," Cardin told the group. "I believe in your right to ask your questions."

Speaking to the media before the event, however, he objected to people disrupting such meetings.

"I just ask people to be respectful," he said. "People have strong views about health care. They want to get information, and town hall meetings allow them to get information."
