Our repubbie refused to attend the first time we invited him. We had the town hall without him. We addressed our questions to an empty suit and a pair of shoes, with his picture where his head should have been (assuming it was not up his ass).

Then, he held a very tightly controlled town hall sponsored by the League of Women Voters. I was not satisfied with his answers or his attitude. He is an even bigger dork than I expected.

If he does not have a town hall again, to explain his vote to repeal, and to explain his other positions, we will have someone from an adjacent district who is a Democrat. The county chairmen in this district are in contact with two nearby Congressman already!
