How many of your congressional leaders have had town halls in your cities?
I live in Los Angeles. Barbara Boxer came to Burbank about eight months ago.

Howard Berman my Congressional leader has never paid his constituents the time of day. At least while I have lived here. My neighbor said she has called Berman's office a few times and those in his office are frequently curt and defensive when she asks about Mr. Berman gracing his constituents with a visit.

That would interfere with his schedule and job I guess.

1. Our congressional candidate Diane Benson
invited Don Young to participate in three town hall meetings in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau right after she won the primary last month, but he has flatly refused. I guess he thinks he's too "good" to have to face the people and his opponent.

2. Isnt that amazing?
It seems telling that so few have posted.

Seems to reveal how little we see our Congressional leaders. And yet we pay their salary. And THEY VOTE IN THEIR PAY RAISES.

See the fairness?

Me too :)

Thanks for posting.
