Many lawmakers have shrugged off public criticism, choosing to wallow in their monthlong vacations rather than remain on Capitol Hill during a critical juncture in the nation’s history...No Labels - a persistent, nonpartisan gadfly group - polled every member of the House of Representatives to find 56 percent of them have not - we repeat, have not - scheduled any town hall meetings during the August recess.

Means we the people are a force they can't contain!

Some of my observations in no particular order: They’re hiding. They have no viable plan. They don’t care.

When they are at work they are on vacation from reality.

Isn’t “No Labels” a squishy-middle bunch of weenie-whiners? Seems to me when they first came on the scene, they were quickly outed as RINOs and wannabes.

I’ll volunteer to help Karen Harrington replace DWS in D20. Karen was her first opposition. She got a lot of votes (for purple Broward county that is).

They don’t want to face the outrage. Our rep cowboyed up and faced us. We were not thrilled with his vote on the debt bill and we all let him know but he gave a detailed accounting of the whole thing and information that we did not previously know. He filled us in on all the things that had been done in the last session and the GOP strategy on cutting spending, repealing Obamacare, entitlements etc. Thanks to being honest and facing the voters he will likely get re-elected.
