Yes, because if we give in the to liberal bullies, they will say the elected officials are ruling without any popular input.
Confront the liberal bullies and go after the groups organizing violence under RICO if not outright sedition.

If I were a local representative, I would require that anybody entering the town hall meeting show a photo ID to prove they live in the district.

“If I were a local representative, I would require that anybody entering the town hall meeting show a photo ID to prove they live in the district.”

I agree. That and make it STANDING ROOM ONLY. And uncomfortably warm. It looks like they have a fair number of older activists showing up - so they won’t enjoy standing and waiting while being overly warm. Especially if the meeting starts a bit late.

There are a few other things that can be done as well to make the protesting a little less comfortable.

Wrong question:

Will lazy Mammon-worshipping conservatives ever get off their fat asses and defend their neighborhoods by showing up at local town hall meetings?

I watched Representative Brian Mast’s town hall today.
He handled it very well in spite of the obvious attempts by OFA to disrupt.

I voted "no".

Why participate in their sick games?

Put the time and effort into something that will benefit the President and his policies.

How about so-called conservatives getting off their fat asses and defending their communities from leftist commies. I know that will require that conservatives take a break from remodeling kitchens, counting money and barbecuing ribs, but it’s for your children.

I watched a rebroadcast of Grassleys Iowa town-hall from earlier today. What a sh*tshow. That room was about 4/5 dems, and all but two who “spoke” read off of printed pages. LONG intricately detailed questions. Not grass roots at all. In fact as I listened to side talk when the meeting was winding down I heard some woman off camera making a comment that caught my attention, but I couldn’t hear clearly enough to say what it was. She seemed to know what a woman across the room was going to say as a reply before the woman even spoke though. So, I tried to listen more closely. One thing I WAS able to hear were the words “Blue Iowa”. It is a liberal group apparently. Guessing that the meeting was PACKED with them as that district voted 34% dem and the meeting was nearly all dem attendees. I googled “Blue Iowa” and this popped up (if you want to check it out - copy the link and open in a different browser, I don’t want to tip them to FR) : https://twitter.com/BlueIowa
