Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome
Every member of Congress — Republican and Democrat, House and Senate — should hold a live, in-person town hall in their district this week.
Given what is happening in the country and around the world right now, we should have a chance to hear from them, share ideas with them, hold them accountable, work with them and remind them who it is they serve.
Telephone town halls, social media posts, performing outside of locked federal buildings won’t cut it.
Some are probably afraid to do this because they don’t have a solid plan for how to confront the most corrupt administration in American history. That’s understandable — this is an unprecedented time and they are clearly scrambling to figure out a strategy. But if that’s the case, they should then be open to hearing from their constituents who might have some of the answers and who are very willing to work with them in the fight now in front of us.
If you want to call your member of Congress to encourage them to hold a live, in-person town hall this week, the number to the Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.
