[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get to complain about MY district rep, who happens to be comstock, not holding town halls.

Or meeting with people in person after repeated requests.

If Dems are pulling the same, then that is a shame.  And I will support their constituents in demanding to be heard.[/quote]

[b]Did Warner or Kaine hold any?  They also represent us in Congress.[/quote][/b]

Of course not.  The OP post was the same as libs are doing nationwide to try and shame Republicans into doing Townhalls where libs will show up and irresponsibly protest.  No big news here.  Townhalls may have worked in the era pre-TV but we are moving ahead and these communications are being held, for ALL constituents by phone.  Social media and 6,000 constituents on the phone asking question is a far more effective way of communicating than dealing with a bunch of angry non-constituents protesting at a Townhall.  I participated in one recently and both sides of the aisle got equal time on the debacle of Obamacare.  If anything, I am on the side desperately needing reform and I was in the queue to ask a question about when reform might happen.  I was impressed.  6,000 constituents got to ask questions.  There were clearly representatives of all sorts of healthcare experiences on the line asking questions.  Townhalls go back to the radio-Era.[/quote]

6000 constituents got to ask questions?   How long was this magical phone call?

just stop it with your nonsense.  She is refusing to meet with her own constituents.  I have friends who have tried to get a meeting with her in her offices, both DC and district.  She works for us-we pay her damn salary.  And she needs to hear ALL voices, not just the ones that agree with her.  There is zero excuse for her behavior in a swing district like hers.  Or a district as politically active as hers.[/quote]
