By Appointment Only?

Republicans are doing everything they can to duck constituents on their plan to Make America Sick Again. The latest examples? Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) is now requiring constituents to make appointments to visit his office. Just two days earlier, Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ) turned down town hall invitations from voters.  Members have a responsibility to hear out their constituents - even the ones they disagree with. From Roll Call:

"Zeldin recently changed his office hours so that visitors must schedule appointments to visit, Newsday reported."

"Several Republican members have canceled meetings or turned down requests after protests erupted in the wake of President Donald Trump’s election."

“Arizona Rep. Martha McSally on Tuesday turned down a grass-root group’s invitation to a town hall meeting, calling it a ‘political ambush….(The forum) is about trapping people in a political ambush for political theater,’ McSalley told constituents in a call, the Tucson Star reported.”

"Zeldin last week canceled an April meeting."

"Protesters in Zeldin’s district say they want an audience with the congressman about plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act and the travel ban that President Donald Trump imposed on immigrants from some Muslim-majority countries."
