Hiding behind closed doors and avoiding the people they claim to represent is what cowards do.
It’s also not ok to ignore your constituents completely when the large majority is against a bill, for example the recent bill Gov. Brad Little signed into law for a $50 million private school subsidy after being pressured by a tweet from Donald.
They are supposed to represent and listen to ALL of the constituents, not just a small handful.
Mike Simpson sent out one of his surveys yesterday and I just lost it.
"Is the State of Our Union Strong Under President Trump? Do you approve of the job President Trump has done in his first month back in office?"
I don't need to rattle off everything that the Donald, DOGE, Risch, Crapo, Simpson, Little, etc. etc. are/are not doing, but you get the gist. I left a phone message for Simpson stating that he needs to stop the ridiculous surveys and get back here and have town hall meetings.
Greg, your suggestions as for agreed-upon rules for a town hall are right on, so thank you for that.
Like a (in)famous person once said, "if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore."
We all need to fight for our democracy, for compassion, for justice, and for our country. And we don't need an insurrection to do it.
There should be a requirement that our legislators hold a certain number of town halls during breaks in a legislative session - and not just in friendly territory.
It’s part of the job that we pay them for. Make them earn their salaries, or find people who are serious about serving Idahoans.

The Simpson survey was ridiculous. I doubt my submission was counted, or even read. What was the purpose?
