Yesterday, via Twitter:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
So excited that Trinity Lutheran Church is opening its new playground with the federal grant money it rightly deserved. I was proud to write an amicus brief in the church’s support when this case went before SCOTUS.
[….]
7:31 AM – 14 Nov 2018 from Washington, DC

Some of the responses:

LOL … you didn’t write the amicus brief. You added your name to its cover. Hint: you don’t have a law degree … which also explains your difficulty in understanding the concept of the separation of church and state. Maybe you should build THAT wall

So depressed you’re still around

How does it feel to be the minority party and to be an obstructionist. By the way do you support POTUS California tweets?

Nothing like separation of church and state. Hypocrite.

Is this what Nationalism is?

Golly Gee Whiz, Vicky.
Everyone hates you.
Bless your lil pea-picking heart.

Vote.

A little after 6:00 a.m.:

The Coordinated Campaign field office in Warrensburg, Missouri – November 6, 2018.

“…But if you think we’re right and you won’t speak up because you can’t be bothered, then God, Jed, I don’t even want to know you…” – Dolores Landingham – “Two Cathedrals” – The West Wing (2001)

There’s an election today. Do you have a voting plan? Where? When? And do you know what you need?

Talk to your family, friends and neighbors. Get them to commit to voting. Drag them to the polls if you have to.

Vote.

If you know it’s important that you vote and you won’t because you can’t be bothered or because it’s too inconvenient or you have something else to do, then God, I don’t even want to know you…

Vote.

Campaign volunteers are working the phones and going door to door.

The coordinated campaign field office in Warrensburg, Missouri.

In downtown Warrensburg early this evening a group of ministers and people from their congregations held a prayer vigil on the Johnson County courthouse lawn.

Late last night, via Twitter:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
While in Osceola earlier today I had the chance to sit down and discuss concerns facing #MO4
[….]
10:42 PM – 30 Oct 2018

You think that’s an open public town hall? Evidently not. Some of the comments:

Another 6 people? I am sure you hand picked like minded people. How can 6 people even begin to give you a consensus of your constituents concerns?[….]

I think folks are mostly concerned you’re going to continue to represent them.

You didn’t invite constituents? I was just a few miles down the road. I would have been happy to discuss education, sensible gun control, and healthcare availability. Too bad you aren’t interested.[….]

Main concern #MO4 is you Vicky, you have overwhelmingly voted against interests of your constituents and taking side with corporate lobbyists in DC

This isn’t a meeting about #MO4, it’s a photo op with Warren Love and office staff. Why are you such a scaredy-cat Vicky? Why won’t you meet with real people? Happy Halloween, btw. We know your tricks. On Nov. 6th, we’ll give you a treat…at the polls!

Oopsie.

I did recognize Warren…. Thanks for the heads up. I didn’t know the others were his staff.

At least one staff member. Others may be volunteers. I wonder what they’re really talking about? Certainly not how to represent the majority of #MO4. Otherwise the single sheets of copy paper on a wrought iron table would be full of notes.

Just another @RepHartzler photo op.

And a staged one at that!

Sad

See the guy on the hat?
State Rep. Warren Love [….]

You’re pretty good at photo ops, why can’t you hold a town hall?

No town hall…what are you afraid of???

Completely false and misleading …that’s Warren Love. The next time you stage a photo op make sure it’s people we don’t recognize ….

Nope, not an open public town hall.

At 9:00 a.m. today the annual University of Central Missouri Homecoming parade commenced in Warrensburg. In an election year there are the usual entries from candidates and political parties.

There were entries for Democratic Party and Reublican candidates and office holders. There was an entry supporting medical marijuana (Amendment 2 on the November ballot) and an entry for the Libertarians.

Candidate and issues groups passed out literature. Much of this ended up on the ground. The candy others distributed to children along the parade route faired a little better. Just a reminder, six year olds don’t vote.

There were Moms demanding action:

Moms.

Diversity.

Someone in the crowd had a sign:

Vote Blue.

We do take some nice photographs.

No, Representative Hartzler (r), you don’t have permission to use this image.

Connie Simmons, the Democratic Party candidate in the 53rd Legislative District.

This morning in Warrensburg:

Vicky Hartzler (r) in Warrensburg – October 27, 2018.

Once a year. Too bad there haven’t been any open public town halls in a long while. You know, where actual constituents could ask questions and maybe expect a cogent response.

If you voted “No” on Proposition A in August you vote for Renee Hoagenson (D) in the 4th Congressional District in November.

Finish the job. Otherwise, you’ll be facing “right to get paid less” again in the near future.

The results in August, defeating Proposition A, which would have imposed “Right to Work” in Missouri:

Proposition A
3228 of 3228 Precincts Reported
YES 453,283 32.534%
NO 939,973 67.466%
Total Votes: 1,393,256

And, of course, on the wrong side of Missouri voters:

Cosponsors: H.R.785 — 115th Congress (2017-2018)
[….]
Rep. Hartzler, Vicky [R-MO-4] 10/26/2017
[….]
Introduced in House (02/01/2017)
National Right-to-Work Act
This bill amends the National Labor Relations Act and the Railway Labor Act to repeal those provisions that permit employers or labor organizations, pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement that is a union security agreement, to require employees to join a union as a condition of employment (including provisions permitting railroad carriers to require, pursuant to such an agreement, payroll deduction of union dues or fees as a condition of employment).

We received campaign mail from Renee Hoagenson (D) today:

Finish the job.
