Udall and Heinrich Have Absolutely No Time for Town Hall Meetings, Just Fundraisers

Capitol Report New Mexico - Earlier this month we posted a story about how three of the five members of the New Mexico congressional delegation are skipping town hall meetings during the summer recess for the US House of Representatives and the Senate. It turns out they are part of a larger effort — coordinated or uncoordinated — of congressmen and senators who are avoiding meeting their constituents in a town hall format in the wake of some meetings in 2009 and 2010 that got confrontational (the most publicized example came at a town hall meeting hosted by then Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania).
The non-profit political group No Labels just released a survey showing that just 40 percent of all House members are hosting open town hall meetings during the August recess. The party breakdown shows that 67 percent of House Democrats and 50 percent of House Republicans are skipping town hall meetings. Read full story here: News New Mexico

At a townhall meeting, they might have to face the People. At a townhall meeting, they might be asked difficult questions. At a townhall meeting, they would be implying that they represent their constituents.

My GOD. Admitting all those things would be embarrassing to these elected servants, THEY ARE NOT OFFICIALS, because it would indicate that the People are the boss.

What a concept!

In reference to the previous published comment; Sorry friend, you're dead wrong about both of these slime bags. They're completely oblivious to ANY embarrassment. It's virtually impossible to shame either one of them. They would sneer in your face if you were to public humiliate them and expose their gross incompetence. In short, THEY DON'T CARE. Furthermore, neither do the voters. BOTH of these left-wing loons will be re-elected by the same barefoot, uninformed, kool-aid drinking retards that are chauffeured to the polls by the democratic party lackey's who volunteer to work in the transportation pool on election day. How else can you rationally explain the majority party in the New Mexico State Senate and House of Representatives?
