They don’t want to know people are unhappy. Trump is starting to eliminate journalist from press briefings. They are pushing forward to control the narrative just like Hitler.
My House Rep. Morgan McGarvey (D-KY3) had a town hall last night. My Senators (Mitch McConnell & Rand Paul... ugh!) won't even bother having them any more, except when the audience is all hand-picked friendlies and donors.
We need images of a chicken to post, slap, flag etc. on the office, SM account and lawn of every Republican who refuses to interface with their constituents.
I called my repub US Congressman #JackBergman and he had no town halls while in the district - but he never does. I filled out a form on his website for a "meeting" and never heard back- no surprise.
They don’t want to support policies that help their constituents. They want to support the people who give them enough money to stay in power. They are bought and paid for by the wealthy.
Contacted my Congressman (Tom Barrett of sex change email fundraising fame). Asked when he’d be holding a town-hall in the district. No response.
Background to get to know this guy:
Then we go to their offices. PEACEFULLY. VERBAL ONLY. We do not engage physically. We call for accountability. We tell them facts (our voices and our signs). Without impeding them, we hound them on the way to their cars. We. Go. Where. They. Are.
DNC needs to distribute ad for every local to use calling on members to meet with their constituents. They need to make town halls a mandatory part of being a Member of Congress.
Ralph Norman’s minion called me responding to my sincerest concerns DO NOT cut Medicaid & SNAP etc…that minion then lied directly into my earhole saying NO benefits will be cut. No medicaid or Snap will be cut. LIARS.
The Dems should go ahead an hold the town hall and then just sit an empty chair for the rep and send local dems and independents to answer questions and provide information. The public should should be able to ask questions of their elected rep. They are afraid of video give em video
Find where they live, where their spouses work, where their kids attend school, and where they worship. Bring the fight there. Make their lives untenable 24/7
Then call their offices and hammer their email. Hold these fools accountable and next election make better dam choices to represent yourselves or suffer the consequences of your choice or in action. Democracy is not free and nor is it easy.
All these unions in the photo need to join others in solidarity in a National Strike. Shut the country down until Trump and all enablers are physically removed from office. All patriotic military leaders should also revolt with a military coup.
The Republicans are going to stick their heads in the sand now and pretend their constituents are not there. They will pass the budget bill with all the cuts that benefit their constituents along with more tax cuts for the wealthy. These fuckers are going to ignite a class war.
Dems must take advantage of R’s cowardly behaviour right now !!
R’s can run, but they can’t hide.
Trusting there is, in fact, a mid-term election, every single R up for reelection must be voted out.
trump is taking your country away. It’s time to take it back 💪
I have a newsflash for you: republicans have voted down thousands of significant health & wealth advancements for humanity during your lifetime and instead focus/focused on funding the top tier for a scam they refer to “trickle down”. It’s not too late to stop being in a dysfunctional cult.
If you are too afraid to meet with your constituents you should seriously reconsider your career choice. You have no damn business being a member of Congress.
"Party leaders suggest that if lawmakers feel the need to hold such events, they do tele-town halls or at least vet attendees to avoid scenes that become viral clips, according to GOP sources.
A GOP aide said House Republican leaders are urging lawmakers to stop engaging in them altogether." 😡
This is when citizens begin holding Town Halls WITHOUT their lawmakers.
All they need is an empty chair with the pol's name on it, a cardboard cutout, or an appropriate mascot, e.g., any invertebrate.
The blowback to the brown shirts has slowed them. They will wait until Trump has full control. They don’t plan on future elections as we’ve known them. The Town Halls were a part of the coverup of their ongoing crimes with Trump and Musk.
Social Security is formulating plans to fire HALF its staff, probably by the end of the week. From Reddit:
February 25, 2025
On a 3pm EST call this afternoon the ACOSS told the DCs/execs that he wanted a plan to cut 50% of ALL staff, including frontline staff, to him by tomorrow afternoon.
I hope they realize that they’ll be losing their seats after voting to gut Medicaid. Constituents won’t forget having to care for someone who needs a SNF, or paying cash for doctor appointments and prescriptions, and their kids losing free lunches. I hope they get decimated.
I knew Republican town halls would quickly become extinct. These cowards got to where they are by being spinless. They sure as hell aren't tough enough to face the people they're screwing over.
Then I guess folks should start showing up outside their homes, their favorite eateries, their kids' schools. Get all their contact info out there so they can run, but not so easily hide.
All the rumors about republicans behind the scenes are true. What they’re witnessing with Musk has sent them into an absolute panic. Their answer is, just don’t show up to Town Hall meetings.
Well, I said this during the last presidency and everybody blew up about it. Hound the damn Republican Fascist Scum down. Confront them at restaurants, confront them at bathrooms, confront them on the streets, confront them at their kids schools, confront them at their churches!
If they don’t want to invite you to the table anymore, MAKE YOUR OWN TABLE!!! Get Republicans nationwide to continue holding town halls in other locations. Matter of fact, Dems should also host town halls all over.
Bring to them. Town halls can travel. With people as they eat in restaurants. With them as they go jogging or hit the gym. Town halls can even take place outside homes.
The PEOPLE need to take charge. They can hold town halls with cardboard cutouts like was done in Colorado. It has to be REPUBLICANS that start putting pressure on republicans. People can meet them in airports-at dinner- everywhere.
Yet... they voted for $4B added debt and cuts to Medicare, va, social security..
I believe this month there's elections for house seats. 3 in total, 2 for Florida. If you live in Florida.. you know what's needed.. get out the vote and change the house to Dem
Big opening for Dems here. If GOP reps won't do town halls, Dems from neighboring districts should go into the GOP reps' districts and hold their own town halls.
The cowards all live somewhere and gotta sleep. Can’t hide in the capitol either. Public officials, unfortunately for them means they’re public. It’s gonna take harassment on a very large scale. Go get em! Don’t string up tho,…just yet.
The Democratic party is "For the People" @ Social
Justice but licks loyalty from within. The Rep's are beyond loyal. I don't believe in blind loyalty, but now is the time for loyalty to the Democratic party. Dems are not in power still more are calling out the Diabolical daily as do many of us.
💙💙
Our congressman?
Did a Town Hall once.
Eight yrs ago.
One and DONE!
Largest Michigan district, the Medicaid loss will impact EVERY RURAL HOSPITAL and a huge number of constituents that are elderly and those that are dirt ass poor!
Democrats should aim high. Campaign on Medicare 4 All. Tell the voters that if they vote for the Democrats and give them the supermajority in the house they will pass Medicare for all and increase taxes on the rich.
The cowards. If they won’t face their constituents, everyone needs to call, write, email and GET LOUD. And it goes without saying, primary the enablers.
They’re gutting your future. The House just pushed a budget slashing Medicaid, SNAP, and housing—so billionaires get richer. Now, they’re ramming it through the Senate. The only way to stop them? A national strike. Read now—before it’s too late.
So the Democrats of that state should have the town hall the Republicans won’t have and tell them the truth about the Republicans policies since they are afraid to .
The hideous GOP in Congress can not do town halls, but they’re not going to stop having to answer to their constituents. Ppl are organizing to peacefully, yet fiercely let them know they’ll lose their seats.

They can’t handle…
Let’s hold town halls anyway and have surrogates parrot what we expect them to say.
GOP gets “a case of the vapors” when it comes to town halls…
Turns out they don’t want to face accountability for their actions… shocking… 😒
Welcome to the Oligarchy that is our new reality...

No Nick, we want to see you in person 🤔
Their leaders did the salute several times.
They are
The American Christian Nazi Party.
These cowards can't run from this.
