Representative Mike Honda (CA-15) is holding a tele-townhall "raffle" for access to his Tuesday, August 25, 2009 @ 6:30PM event. If you are a constituent, you can throw your name, address, email address, phone number, and zip-code into the hat and see if you are one of the lucky constituents who will be blessed by the presence of Rep. Honda's voice. I may seem a little perturbed. Why you may ask. When I feel my federal Representative is hiding from his constituents, especially when he is needed the most raises a danger flag. When your Congressman has to collect all this information from you in order for you to have a public forum, this presents a problem.
And it is not that fact Rep. Honda is holding a tele-townhall. It is the fact that Rep. Honda is deciding which one of you he wants to call to include in his tele-townhall. So now we have Rep. Honda's office collecting information on his constituents in order to increase his mailing list?! BTW, don't forget to signup for my mailing list as well ;)

Let the first question be "why don't you make everyone pony up like this to VOTE?"
It would be hilarious if a whole bunch of guys named Harley Davidson threw their names in Honda’s “raffle” hat. LOL!
LOL! EXCELLENT point.
