@glogothetis @MattOrtega wish I had known about it. He's hiding from his constituents.

closed door meetings.

4. He's got a habit of running from his constituents (one of which I am).

A group of 16 constituents that arranged to meet with staff members at the West Chicago district office of U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Wheaton) Wednesday about their concerns with a repeal of the Affordable Care Act were abruptly told they would have to reschedule after staff realized a member of the press was present.

On Thursday, Roskam said they would reschedule the meeting without the reporter.

Sandra Alexander said she scheduled the meeting weeks ago and was stunned that they were turned away. "We are going to be respectful and see if they will change their minds," Alexander said.

After several minutes, no one returned to speak with the group. The constituents decided to hold the meeting in the lobby without the presence of Roskam's staff.

"I am stunned at what happened," Alexander said.

10. I have one of those, too, so I can sympathize, Paul Ryan is her "mentor"

They love their closed door meetings, don't they??

Fortunately, I also have Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand for my senators and she was the previous rep in my district. It can happen anywhere.

Take Action to Protect Health Care: Turn Anger into ACTION

President Trump and the Republican Congress are readying legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) without an adequate replacement. More than a million people in Illinois alone will be impacted if the ACA is repealed.

The American people need to send a message to Congressman Roskam (CD-6.) Help Citizen Action/Illinois call his constituents!

Why is Congressman Roskam so critical in our fight to protect health care for everyone?

1) Roskam chairs the House Subcommittee that controls health care funding.

2) Roskam supports health care changes that cap and cut Medicaid, privatize Medicare and has voted to repeal the ACA multiple times.

3) More than 60,000 residents in Congressman Roskam’s District rely on Obamacare.


Congressman Roskam needs to hear from his constituents. Help rally them by signing up here to make volunteer calls. PLEASE BRING YOUR LAPTOP AND CELL PHONE.

You are ready to act. Join the fight for health care now!
