“Maybe if the GOP had the gumption to have a press conference with some angry CITIZENS....”

I’ve asked my elected officials to hold a town hall meeting once a month in various locations so they can get some direct feedback from their constituents. That would still leave them 4 weeks to have their ear turned to the lobbyists and special interests.

I don’t actually trust the Tele townhall meetings because they can be scripted and manipulated. They know who you are because they called you. They probably have a dossier on any constituent that ever called or wrote a letter. They know the gist of the question because they ask you just like call-in radio. They know what you think is important.
