Call your rep. Demand a town hall. If they’re GOP and won’t give one, invite a Dem to your district in their place. Congressional switchboard: (202) 224-3121

I called Rep Brian Fitzpatrick, PA-01, today demanding a town hall. His staff was polite but non-committal, saying if they’d make an announcement of the hold one. I called his bs, saying I’ve lived in the district 11 yrs and can’t remember the last time he answered questions from his constituents.
Zach Nunn is doing no town halls. No balls to explain his votes. His office in Des Moines is a short walk from two large senior public housing apartments (one is my place) and homeless shelters. It’s sickening!
In Vermont Wednesday evening, 34,000! Vermonters participated in a livestream town hall with Bernie, Senator Peter Welch, and Representative Becca Balint.
Balint: "I’m so honored to represent our state and I’m so proud of you all for staying so engaged." This is how it's done!
Agree. I asked the same of Mr Ken Martin DNC chair asking that they go into red districts. They need to go on Faux news etc. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov have many times in the past
Not all town halls are the same ~ depends on who’s leading them. Did you miss the one where the female of the species was crash tackled & hog tied for deigning to raise a question/comment??
My wife and I just attended the Indivisible town hall at Mace’s Lane Elementary School in Cambridge, where Jamie Raskin sat in for AWOL Andy Harris. I hope you knew about it and attended.
Omgosh THANK YOU for the idea to invite a Dem in place of our R. Rep, because fr our R. Reps straight up ignore and RUN AWAY from us. Like, physically flee from accountability. What is this timeline
My rep installed a Ring camera on the door of his office. No one allowed in without an appointment. Several people have tried to make an appointment with no calling them back. Bill Huizenga from MI hasn’t held a town hall since 2017. Such a spineless waste
I was there. Was it perfect? No. But he showed up, answered questions, and gave us some detailed pointers for how to push back against the insanity. GOP are instead all gutless, spineless cowards.
Trump has just shafted Ukraine which was the plan all along. There will now be a huge wedge between USA and Europe. Perhaps it can be healed after your next election if there is one.
Slava Ukraini.
The republican representatives are cowards. A town hall meeting was planned in Fresno on Wednesday, but then cancelled. I called my rep to ask why. There was no explanation. 😡
Logic based on truth will always triumphant over logic based on lies, since lie begets lie and logic process will eventually disintegrate trying to cover up previous lies
My Congressman, the newly elected Republican in MI-7, has already made his statement. He says Trump’s behavior would have been normal behind closed doors, and praised it as asserting America’s rightful demands. Excuse me while I barf.
My GOP representatives no longer taking calls - voicemails full for days. No longer being cleared. Chicken 💩’s and wondering if bird-flu will hop on over to the Congress.
Yes, all the Democrats should invade all the Republican districts and have town meetings and explain to them what they’re trying to do and what the Republicans have denied.
The short answer should be yes, but wouldn't he have had to once be loyal to the US. The sad answer is that we've known it for at least 10 years, yet 60% of the voting public gave him a second chance to destroy what he didn't the first time.
It's time to stop this stupid ass president from doing any more harm to the country. Demand his impeachment have Republicans stand for democracy.We cannot be a Russian Ally they are our enemy they want to destroy us. Only the most gullible of us Trump, can believe a dictator isn't your enemy,
Also, it's not an available option everywhere, but it is at least worth checking to see if there is an option to perform a recall election against representatives and senators who are not acting on the behalf of those they represent. Find requirements, and work on those.
If you don't know a dem in your district, see who it was that was last on the ballot in opposition to your GOP Rep. Invite them. A Libertarian might be a worse choice, but I'd bet that if you ofered them a ride to the venue, they would at least talk to people. But there's likely a dem who ran.
I heard another suggestion just today: organize your own town hall and have an EMPTY CHAIR on the stage, and have other people, experts, constituents with questions just talk to it. My own thought: have a pinata for a fun flair.
We did this in 2017, along with weekly protests at the office, protests outside any announced public appearances including television studios and flipped a swing district.
You are an awesome human being. I just read "I'll Be Here"
It gave me a different perspective on what we are experiencing right now and I will remember it always.
I called my dem rep Jimmy Panetta about a town hall and crickets. Then one night got a phone call that he was having a virtual one, right then. One hour of talking at us and two constituents questions answered. Coward! We will vote him out.
Miserable Scott Perry, PA-10 is too much of a coward to have a town hall. Sitting under his desk thinking this will blow over soon. It will not! He is a T toady. Vote him the hell out of office in the next election!
Call your rep and demand a town hall and when they refuse ask to confirm their home address. Don’t let your congress critters kill you without getting in their faces about it
@keating.house.gov Maybe you should give one, even though we're blue, to let us (your constituents) understand how you and the rest of the MA delegation are fighting for us. The gloves need to come off!
Also, We The People should be marching to DC with the 1A of the Constitution in our left hand and the 2A of the Constitution in our right hand to remind Felon Trump in the White House and Republicans in Congress that they work for The People.
The VA has begun misgendering Transgender Veterans due to Trump's EO to ban the word "transgender". And, only refer to the sax that was reported on a veterans original birth certificate. 😟😢
Time for the right to split. Extremists only maintain their power if the middle stick with them. The middle are not Russian agents only the extreme, so if the traditionalists split from the extremists, congress will revert to the dems. Right now that seems like the only path back from the abyss.
Better. Don't demand a town hall. Arrange one and invite your rep to attend. If and when they don't agree, publicise it widely and THEN invite a Democrat
And Dems do not think you do not have to have town halls in your majority dem (black) districts
They have things to answer for as well and they need to stop taking us for granted.
We won’t vote MAGA but we will vote their asses out.
This area’s rep, Mary Miller, has shut down the FB page and is no longer answering the phone. I left a message. I will be spreading this locally. Open call out for any Dem wanting to run for her office!
#MaryMiller refuses to meet with her own constituents but has time to sneak in town to meet with the #FarmBureau to fill their ears with lies! We are holding our own town hall in #Illinois without her! Please spread the word! #MAGA #lies
I called my Rep Kennedy & senators Gillebrand & Schumer today & asked they please do something ANYTHING besides waiting for 2026 to magically fix everything. Kudos to Rep Kennedy’s office BTW.
The turncoat leadership is forbidding their reps to hold town halls. They are sticking their fingers in their ears and saying " la la la la" because they don't want to hear the truth that their Dear Leader is a monster.
I’ve tried that, no response from Amy Klobuchar either. There are several MN districts with no reply Republicans and people are pissed. Democrats are missing a huge opportunity right now because people are angry at Trump and Republicans.
The canned reply from Democrats. As if they didn’t read the emails. 🖕🏻
Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I appreciate hearing from you on this important matter, and I will keep your views in mind as relevant legislation and other decisions related to this issue come before the Senate.
They aren’t doing anything. Democrats are powerless. They run ridiculous candidates and bungle elections and turn on their own. Nothing can be done about the tyrant in office as long as we rely on democrats to do it.
I have called my rep everyday since the inauguration about a town hall.. it is Boebert 🥴 I have emailed, this is the only response I have received and I submitted it through her website
If they refuse to hear out the people who elected them to give them the opportunity to have the responsibility to serve, they shouldn't be behind those desks! PERIOD.
Just requested Rep Russell Frye from SC schedule a town hall, face his constituents & be prepared to explain what the hell Musk is doing inside our government & why he is allowing the dismantling our our government, the rule of law & our democracy.
anybody know who spooled up the 14th amendment charge in Colorado? We need another run at the fat orange and actually the 14th amendment case laid the foundation to execute this Law successfully on fat orange and his horde...

Don't allow greedy, wealthy sycophants to destroy & steal all thats good in your nation.
Don't take it for granted.
If you do, they will take it from you.
Slava Ukraini.
Do both.

Like, a 1 in a million chance that it happens.
Venture outside their media bubble,
Suddenly GOP’s in all sorts of trouble.
Folks who don’t do X or Fox News,
See incompetence. Let loose the boos!
