I really don’t swing either way in politics, left or right, but when an elected REPRESENTATIVE refuses to meet with the people she represents, I find that a little…. titillating.
Representative Louise Slaughter said in an interview that she would not be having town meetings where members of 28th District of New York could see her face to face.
“I’m not doing town meetings; I’m not going to give those people a forum. I went through it with the Clinton health care bill, with the John Birch Society, where we had to have police around, and people hysterically crying…” (emphasis added by BBB)
Now, Rep. Slaughter’s website says she is SERVING THE PEOPLE of the 28th district of New York. Wouldn’t that mean she would have to know what is going on with the people from that area?
What do you think about representatives who don’t meet with the people of their represented areas? Or make it difficult to find out when there are town hall meetings? I know I had a hard time finding town halls everywhere I lived (California, Missouri, and Minnesota) since I began voting 13 years ago. But to just come out and say you’re not having any at all???
What do YOU think of a member of the House of Representatives refusing to have a Town Hall meeting with the people she is supposed to represent?
