It’s been a few years since we’ve had the pleasure of attending a full blown public town hall in Missouri’s 4th Congressional District. We wonder why? The one in Warrensburg in 2011 was so much fun.

A press release from Representative Vicky Hartzler (r):
Hartzler Presents ‘Undo’ List to President Trump
February 6, 2017 Press Release
POTUS sees local concerns firsthand
WASHINGTON—Capping off months of collecting responses from our local community to the question “What would you like to see undone in Washington?” Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.) personally presented her “MO-4 Undo List” to President Donald Trump….[….]
Was that all of the responses? Just asking.
A press release from the 4th Congressional District Democratic Committee:
Contact: Loree Voigt, Communications Director
For Immediate Release
4th District Democratic Committee
February 6, 2017
[….]Rep. Vicky Hartzler ‘Undo’ List presented to President Trump
Today 4th District Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler reported that she had presented an ‘undo’ list from her constituents to President Donald Trump. Rep. Hartzler is hopeful that by working with President Trump she can ‘undo’ the list of “burdensome policies” in Missouri’s 4th District. Rep. Hartzler claims the quotes from 4th District citizens are representative of the stories and quotes from her constituents in Missouri’s 4th District.
It is very disheartening to read that Rep. Hartzler only included in her ‘undo’ list the stories and quotes matching her ideology. Missouri’s 4th District Democrats have attended most […] of her listening sessions and did not see a single quote or story that was shared with Rep. Hartzler over the last 6 years.
Missouri’s 4th District Democrats:
Do NOT want our healthcare system undone and our healthcare decisions returned to insurance companies
Do NOT want regulations undone so that our air and water supplies are once again polluted by big business interests
Do NOT want Dodd-Frank undone, returning our savings to Wall Street bankers
Do NOT want our public educational systems undone and destroyed by for-profit interests
Do NOT want to work overtime with no compensation
Do NOT want our Social Security privatized and turned over to Wall Street investors, but strengthened by raising the cap.Rep. Hartzler, you are right in saying there are a lot of hard-working people in Missouri’s 4th District — and you work for ALL of us.

You think all those angry folks worried about their access to health care, the solvency of Social Security, and their present and future access to Medicare we’re now seeing at republican town halls across the country just might show up at town halls in Missouri?
You bet.
Maybe Representative Hartzler (r) should hold an open public town hall in the district.
Really, it could be a lot of fun. Believe us.

Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): town hall in Warrensburg, part 4 (August 14, 2011)
We need a town hall meeting. Now.
Have one without her, then. Put up an effigy, and treat it just like you would the real thing, film it, and stick it on every social media outlet you can lay hands on.
be interesting if this idea went viral…. especially since they are unwilling to face the music. Heck, you could even do up answers you’d expect to hear from her- and put them on the vid.
Please protect our interests in our social security accounts and keep regulations on Wall Street. Watch The BIG Short movie and do the right thing for the people you represent. Protect ACA and Medicare and keep our education out of the hands of those trying to profit from it. Please.
Would that she even understood the issues. I used to think congressional representatives and presidents should be smarter than I am. Both Missouri and the US are now run by such non-intellectuals – whose positions are so contrary to those of thoughtful people – that it’s laughable. Just look at Missouri political office holders. Emery? Moon? Hartzler? Long? How does one support such people? Does nobody read any more? Jeez.
Even worse. Rick Brattin (r). I rest my case.
