I'm the one with the rat issue. Yes, I know we'd get a quick response from the DC govt, but I want Chaffetz to do it. I like the feeling of getting personalized constituent service from Utah's best. We have a hoarder living on our street, so I think I'll call Chaffetz about that today, too. Also, my neighbor's car mirror was torn off yesterday by a passing car. I've encouraged them to call Chaffetz to file the police report, since I'm sure he'll want to be involved. Oh, and we have a dying tree in the neighborhood that the excellent DC Urban Forestry team COULD take care of, but Chaffetz would probably prefer to handle himself. |
Do you seriously call this often to get things done on your street? I can't think of one problem I've ever had with my neighbors in 10 years of being a homeowner. |
| His office is currently experiencing an unusual volume of calls |
Good grief, of course not. But if Chaffetz, Rubio, et al., continue to meddle in DC affairs, they will find that I and many other residents have an unlimited number of petty problems for them to solve. They will hear from us every single day until they stop trying to turn DC into their little faux right-wing playground. |

I stopped by his office yesterday. I very young legislative aide told me that Chaffetz believes in small federal government and local control -- for Utah. In DC, he explained, the voters have approved such "controversial" measures (especially the Death with Dignity Act) that congressional oversight is necessary.
Bullshit. |
Modern day colonialism. |
|
When you call do you select "1" that you are from Utah?
|
Yes. And you can tell them that contrary to the views of his young aide, democratic election results apply whether your populace has elected Muriel Bowser or Jason Chaffetz. I think the local laws in Utah and other red states are bat-shit crazy, and the people they've elected are antediluvian wannabe-autocrats. The difference is that Mary Cheh, Phil Mendelsohn, and Eleanor Holmes-Norton aren't attempting to overturn referenda passed in Salt Lake City. |
| The idea is so inherently racist to me. White man wants to "come and save" the District from itself...because only he knows, of course. |

Re Chaffetz's aide thinking that DC voter actions are "too controversial," Chaffetz just signed on to a bill to eliminate the entire *US Department of Education* by Dec 2018. What an ignoramus. What a hypocrite.

Yes, and it's so hypocritical. They would go bananas if we tried to interfere with Wyomingite politics because another state didn't approve of their choices. (DC has more people than Wyoming, but no voting representation.) |
| His town hall meeting is going very poorly tonight. Apparently over 3000 showed up and they are chanting "Do your job!" |
Wow. |
And this is in Utah! This country is very unhappy with its current Government.
