….The Congressional frank dates back to the English House of Commons in the 17th century.
On November 8, 1775, The American Continental Congress authorized franking privileges to its members as a means of informing their constituents. The first U.S. Congress enacted a franking law in 1789. The franking privilege has remained a necessary and valuable tool of our representative government for more than 200 years.

….Mass mailings are required to bear disclaimer statements indicating the mailing was paid for at taxpayer’s expense. Members must also disclose on a quarterly basis the number of mass mailings sent during that period as well as their costs….

We received some mail from Mark Alford (r) today. We all paid for it.
“Rep. Mark Alford won’t be intimidated by the woke mob.”
Ask Mark Alford (r) about the Belton Police SWAT Team.
What an asshole. There were a lot of people at the coffee house town hall in Belton, Missouri, including a group of local high school students with their teacher. The students asked some of the most pointed questions.
“The heart of this country isn’t Washington, D,C., it’s Main Street….”
The location of the coffee house for the town hall on February 24th was/is (still) literally on Main Street in Belton.
So, the ‘woke mob’, including senior citizens and local high school students, was in Belton, Missouri? Right? On Main Street.
“Alford, perhaps given his years on television, appeared outwardly unperturbed and maintained a polished persona throughout the event.”
What Mark Alford (r) doesn’t tell you is that the reporter for the Kansas City Star didn’t arrive at the town hall until after it was well underway. Funny that.
“When I came to Congress, I promised….that I would restore the conservative values that this country was founded upon….”
“…due process…”
“Instead of cowering from the liberal mob, we will put an end to wasteful spending and refocus on real priorities – ensuring a strong national defense, caring for our veterans, and supporting Missouri’s farmers and small business owners.”
An expensive military parade on June 14th. Check.
Cuts to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Check.
Tariffs. Check.
‘Woke mob’, apparently:
“Protect the VA”
There are a few pro-forma steps involved in relying on the taxpayers’ largesse.
So far, in 2025:
Audio recordings, and one mass mailing.
The mass mailing “approval“:
Is Mark Alford (r) running for something? Just asking.

“…Congressman Alford sent 3 staffers to my office to intimidate my Legislative Assistant and told her not to give out his public number to constituents who call and are angry about Trump’s and Musk’s federal policies. They said he was getting inundated with calls and was cornered in a coffee shop by angry people…”
“Cornered”. Drama queen.
No shit, Sherlock. It’s your fucking job.

[March 6, 2025]
Congressman Alford sent 3 staffers to my office to intimidate my Legislative Assistant and told her not to give out his public number to constituents who call and are angry about Trump’s and Musk’s federal policies. They said he was getting inundated with calls and was cornered in a coffee shop by angry people. A VA employee came to my office and we sent her over as well. The staffers said the Congressman doesn’t want to talk about the VA. One of the staffers further tried to intimidate my LA by asking for a picture with her. Congressman Alford, if you have a problem with angry constituents, have the courage to address it with President Trump. Do not try to intimidate my staff. Also, feel free to pick up the phone and call me man to man. I will be following this up with a letter to your office. I am not going to be intimidated by you.

Some of the responses:
Fight the good fight! These brownshirts should be exposed for the insular bullies that they are. Weak and pitiful.
Wow. Guess they don’t know that your LA is pretty tough to intimidate.
Well isn’t Rep Alford just a hypocritical pos who doesn’t want to be held accountable for his pathetic actions! I hope the calls keep on coming.
Keep sending them to his office. The GOP members of Congress need to be uncomfortable!
Way to go David Tyson Smith! What bullies! Stay strong, we have your back!!
Sorry David. It was me. I was the one that called.
I’m sorry, but now I’m going to call more often.
Heh.
What a little man. No empathy. Power hungry. No principles. Fragile ego. I now know my assignment. Guess I am going to have to call him 3 times tomorrow.
Was it this number?
(202)225-2876
Is this the one to call?
well that’s the DC number but I’m not sure if you want to call?
Sounds like they’re a bunch snowflakes that can’t answer simple questions, like why they’ve switched sides to Putin.
Or was it the Columbia office number?
573-540-6600
I’ll try this one.
She wasn’t giving out classified information, his number is on the state website! Sheesh.
Just think if the Congressman had all of Boone County instead of just half.
I guess his tv jobs didn’t prepare him for taking care of his constituents. Not a good look for him to send three staffers to JC. Seems to me he may be over staffed.
He isn’t my Congressman, but may the ghost of Ike Skelton haunt him all his days.
If Alford doesn’t want to defend the position of his orange king maybe he should re-evaluate his priorities and defend the constitution like he took an oath to do. Not surprised he is trying to use intimidation. It is the Republican m.o.
Don’t be intimidated.
It’s happening out here to.
The threats are coming in.
After that shameful address to Congress Nazis feel emboldened.
Wow. This is crazy. I am sorry you are dealing with this.
Poor boober, maybe he should try working for the people and not bending over constantly for the president!
I can confirm that he was NOT confronted in that coffee house. I was there and I filmed it.
Oh, no!!!
Not CONSTITUENTS!!!
However will he survive!?!?!
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
They made this crappy bed.
I hope they enjoy sleeping in it!
Congressman Mark Alford why are you running from your constituents? Is trump’s approval really that important to you?
Alford is a tiny coward. Shouldn’t he be listening to his constituents as opposed to hiding from them?
How childish of him. Thank you for standing up!
I’m shocked…SHOCKED I SAY…to find out he’d act this way. I’d have never guessed after he was a massive bully for years on local TV that this spineless coward would act this way.
SHOCKED

Oh, for FFS.
“…Now this is serious business we’re talking about. And that’s why I went in and, and faced the people who, who don’t want me in office and, and some who wanted, I think, to do me harm. That’s why we had a SWAT team and, and many police there. Um, and I can take that. But I take this serious, because this, this the survival of our nation and I don’t think people understand what a severe point we are…” – Mark Alford (r)- on CNN, February 24, 2025
Late last night:
Josh Marshall @joshtpm.bsky.social
Good lord, this freak got rocked so hard at his townhall over Elon now he’s threatening to call out a SWAT TEAM on his constituents.

February 24, 2025 at 10:47 PM
Actually, he/they/someone apparently did.
…There were two Belton police officers inside the venue. Over the course of the event additional police officers showed up outside…
Constituent town halls in Missouri aren’t high tea. Ask Claire McCaskill.
If you exist in a bubble it can be quite a shock when you realize there’s more to the world than your bubble.
Some of the most pointed questions came from a group of local high school students attending with their teacher. Some threat, huh?
Snowflake.

Yesterday:
Remarks by President Trump in a Press Briefing on COVID-19 Testing
Issued on: May 11, 2020
Rose Garden
4:15 P.M. EDT[….]
Yeah, go ahead, please.
Q [Weijia Jiang, CBS] Thank you, Mr. President. You said many times that the U.S. is doing far better than any other country when it comes to testing.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes.
Q [Weijia Jiang, CBS] Why does that matter? Why is this a global competition to you if, every day, Americans are still losing their lives and we’re still seeing more cases every day?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, they’re losing their lives everywhere in the world. And maybe that’s a question you should ask China. Don’t ask me; ask China that question, okay? When you ask them that question, you may get a very unusual answer.
Yes. Behind you, please.
Q [Kaitlan Collins, CNN] Do you want to follow up?
Q [Weijia Jiang, CBS] Sir, why are you saying that to me, specifically? That I should ask China?
THE PRESIDENT: I’m telling you. I’m not saying it specifically to anybody. I’m saying it to anybody that would ask a nasty question like that.
Q [Weijia Jiang, CBS] That’s not a nasty question. Why does it matter, when —
THE PRESIDENT: Okay. Anybody else? Please, go ahead. In the back. Please.
Q [Kaitlan Collins, CNN] I have two –- I have two questions.
THE PRESIDENT: No, it’s okay. We’ll go over here.
Q [Kaitlan Collins, CNN] But you pointed to me. I have two questions, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: Next. Next, please.
Q [Kaitlan Collins, CNN] But you didn’t — you called on me.
THE PRESIDENT: I did, and you didn’t respond, and now I’m calling on —
Q [Kaitlan Collins, CNN] Sir, I just wanted to let –-
THE PRESIDENT: — the young lady in the back. Please.
Q [Kaitlan Collins, CNN] I just wanted to let me colleague finish.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay –-
Q [Kaitlan Collins, CNN] But can I ask you a question, please?
THE PRESIDENT: — ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. Appreciate it.
Q [Kaitlan Collins, CNN] But you called on me.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much.
END 5:16 P.M. EDT
