Conn., Illinois congressmen promote bipartisanship (AP)

FILE - In this Aug. 9, 2009 file photo, U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., speaks at a news conference in Wolcott, Conn.  Murphy and Rep. Timothy Johnson, R-Ill., are bucking the trend of partisanship in Washington and holding joint town hall meetings with their constituents — gatherings that were known for their rancor during the health care debate. Both have worked to breathe new life into the U.S. House of Representatives Center Aisle Caucus, a bipartisan group that is trying improve the tone in D.C. amid a hyper-partisan atmosphere. (AP Photo/Bob Child, File)AP - They come from opposite political parties and disagree on some issues, but two members of the U.S. House of Representatives are hoping to show that bipartisanship and civility are still alive in Congress. And they've chosen a district town hall meeting, once ground zero for political discord during the health care overhaul debate, as their proving ground.
