Has Anyone Seen Keith Rothfus (R-PA-12)? [View all]

[blue neen]

Several PA-12 constituent groups have been attempting to get Rep. Rothfus to hold a Town Hall Meeting. It turns out that Rothfus has not scheduled a Town Hall. His Field Staff also will not meet with some constituents as scheduled and will no longer take their phone calls.

One would sincerely hope that Rep. Rothfus and his Field Staff remember that it is the taxpayers who pay their salaries. It is also the taxpayers who pay for the wonderful Health Insurance that Rothfus, his wife and six children receive....Health Insurance that he would deny to many of us if Obamacare or Medicaid are repealed.

Surely, Keith Rothfus would not dismiss our First Amendment rights to Freedom of Speech. He and his staff work for us, not for corporations. We have the right and the responsibility to let him, and all of our representatives in Congress know how legislation affects us. We the people, ya know?

We're not "Paid Protesters" out here. We are simply citizens of this district trying to communicate to our Rep. We're afraid and angry about proposed bills and laws and repeals that could harm us and our loved ones. It is ironic that some Republicans are labeling any protests from the center and left as "Paid", when, after all, it was the Koch Brothers who financed the Tea Party Movement.

The residents of PA-12 and all of the other gerrymandered districts of Pennsylvania don't want to be paid. We want to be heard.
