The gop are spineless & shivering cowards. They are afraid of their constituents & will avoid them. They’re afraid of trump & will not stand up to him. They will let him destroy our country. The gop is only interested in themselves & staying in office. No backbone! Resist!
American people: "You represent us, and need to meet with and listen to us, your constituents!"
R-congress. "You dont matter. We represent the Fat Orange and the oligarchs who put us in power, and can primary us if we dissent. We meet with them, our true constituents, regularly"
But they don't & they won't. They work for corporate interests, PAC's & lobbyists who finance their campaigns.
When was the last time Mitch McConnell had a town hall?
Do like I did yesterday: if you have a decal on your car (like my Fetterman sticker) remove it and mail the pieces to your Rep. At the very least, email or post on BlueSky.
They are saving taxpayers money by not traveling. No wait it's their Washington food and logding that's paid by the taxpayer. You're right they need to be in their districts to get the pulse of, and represent their citizens.
EXACTLY, if you can't face your constituents you should not hold the office. Any congress person who is to cowardly to show up should be recalled or impeached. (I don't know if you can do this, it is a thought.) Don't vote for them and tell them why.
This is absolutely one of the items that needs to be addressed in a significant government reform package. Townhall should be required. You should be required to spend a certain amount of face-to-face with your constituents over the course of your appointment.
If any of us regular people refused to meet or speak with our boss(es), we would face immediate disciplinary measures, including termination. Let's hold Congress to the same standard we face on the job.
If elected officials refuse-refuse to meet with their constituents they should reimburse the taxpayers for their salary and the salaries of their staffs and promptly resign! 😎
We need laws that allow people in every state to recall their congressional represtatives at any time. No more false promises or job avoidance without accountability.
Since Kansas senators Jerry Moran and Roger Marshall are refusing to meet with constituents let me put this here in hopes that they see it: KANSAS VOTERS DID NOT SEND YOU TO CONGRESS TO ATTACK THE VERY DEMOCRACY THAT SENT YOU THERE.
In my home state of Colorado, Cory Gardner (R) wouldn’t show up for Town Hall meetings. His constituents made a life size cardboard cutout and held the meetings without him. He lost his Senate seat. I call him “Cardboard Cory”.😛
This excellent rule can apply across all democratic assemblies. If you cannot give honest account of your actions to the people who elected you to represent them - Resign ! You are no longer fulfilling your purpose.
Republicans do NOT work for the ppl but for themselves. Get as much money and lobby money as possible. Power.
And of course hail the orange turd.
They sacrifice there first born for a few dollars more
Ah, but they don't work for the people! We've had a gov of, by, a for plutocrats since Reagan convinced people they were the problem, not the solution, and then sold gov to the real problem. Taxes are what used to make gov ours. No more.

They've been conditioned to forget why they are sent to Washington once the election is over.

They're in it for the taxpayer perks.
It was never about America.
about Elon Musk that needs to be repeated.

Bring the FIGHT to a Republican near you,
find them wherever they're hiding,
remind them that they work FOR YOU!
That's how the system works, MAKE them hear YOU!
Just sayin'
1) The citizens stop participating.
2) The elected representatives are no longer responsive to the electorate.
How about this fraudster?
#resignrickscott
He’s not answering calls nor holding town halls. Join us to demand his resignation!
He works for us and we demand to be heard.

He only got Trump's endorsement because, as the CFO of Florida, he suggested using state funds to pay Trump's legal bills.
Unfortunately, he'll probably win!

P.s. Democrats hold TOWN meetings, REPUGS CAN GO, BUT No red hats .
And of course hail the orange turd.

I live in a district where town halls are the norm. And if you don't show, Jim is likely to come to your house to see if you're ok.
Yes, it's Jim McGovern.
