What a coward, afraid to face his constiuents.

....."Telephone town hall meetings start with a call from me inviting residents of California's 49th Congressional District to participate in a live conference call. (To find out if you are in the 49th district, please click here).

During the call, I will give a brief update on my work, take questions from callers, and occasionally survey a few issues. "......

except there was never a head up. All of a sudden I will get a phone call inviting me to that "town hall." I think that some of them sounded interesting except, I did not have the time to listen and to participate.

need to realize that the more they piss off their "constituents" the more likely they will not vote for you in 2018. Issa is in a heavy red area of Cali. They can and will vote his ass out....keep going Repukes!!!
