I think people are going to have to start doing Town Halls without Reps and invite the Media

It would be interesting to see how these cowards react to 'The People' deciding to hold their own damn town halls and invite the media to help them get their concerns across to our cowardly Republican Congresspeople.
They obviously think that they can hide out from us and ignore us. It won't play well if folks just start holding Town Hall events and ask the media to help them find their Representatives so they can get them to do their damn jobs properly. We need to embarass them. I'm sure each of our towns can get a group of about a hundred concerned citizens to come together in one place.

Maybe we need to start a 'Help us find our Reps' page on facebook to help organize events. My Rep is hiding from my calls and messages. How much could it possibly cost to rent a venue for a few hours and ask our local NBC affiliate to help us Locate Don Young? Just thinking.

There are constituent arranged town halls and "missing" missing posters being put up in several districts on the East Coast already. And the West Coast too, I'm sure.
