Just a week ago, I noted what a non-entity Minnesota’s other Senator, Amy Klobuchar, has been in the Senate. Yesterday, Klobuchar gave a demonstration of why she’s been the Unknown Senator and losing ground in the state during her tenure. Klobuchar held her one and only session of accountability with her constituents over the phone yesterday evening instead of facing the voters directly. Not only that, but the teleconference was somewhat difficult to join: U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar took the national health care debate to the phone lines Sunday night, talking with more than 10,000 Minnesotans about reforming the current system. Most of the hourlong conversation, which Klobuchar dubbed a “tele-town hall meeting,” focused on holding down health care costs and making it more affordable for families and small businesses. … After the session, she said she thought most of the 14 calls she fielded came from “more conservative” people, but rather than taking ideological stands, they were focused on money issues, such as how small businesses can negotiate with insurance companies or consumers can find affordable coverage.

Another Tele Tubby Townhall.
I wonder of Norm Dicks (my rep) has EVER had a “town hall”??
Organize and get the slimes voted out. Use their arrogance against them and get them out of office.
She got elected because everybody loves her Dad - I left MN years ago, so I don’t know if he’s even still alive, but I’ll bet he didn’t raise her to be that much of a coward. Ours is just as bad - a teletownhall in the middle of rush hour. Good way to make sure nobody with an actual JOB gets to call in.
Sen. Amy “ You want fries with that”
Dennis Moore (KS) cancelled his “town hall” because of “security problems”. What a joke. He just doesn’t want to have to deal with those he is supposed to be working for.
I liked someone’s response (can’t remember where I heard it) when they said (not verbatum) “you expect our young men and women to have the courage to fight a war but don’t show any courage to simply stand and listen to your constituents”
They’re showing that they’re just a bunch of spineless frauds.
This is exactly what Harry Mitchell in Arizona is doing. $hitheel
Debbie Halvorson (D-Illinois) newbie, is doing the same thing. They are spineless rats!
