The current GOP Congressional representatives and senators have been cautioned, if not directly instructed, to avoid having any open meetings with their constituents.
That means they will not show their faces to the people of the districts they were elected to represent, but choose to hide behind highly wordsmithed announcements meant to dispararge open discussion as dangerous and uncontrolled, run by "leftists" and such.
One such weak person is Kevin Kiley, a 2 term Congressional Representative from California's 3rd district. He has the sad honor of representing a huge amount of eastern California territory that extends to the Nevada border. It includes 5 major US National Parks: Lassen Volcano, Yosemote, Kings Canyon, Sequoia and Death Valley NP's. It contains 7 counties, and includes Lake Tahoe, Mammoth, parts of Sacramento, and 3 additional counties, that include some largely agricultural areas.
So he has a large number of constituents who are subject to the federal firings of Forest Service, BLM, National Parks, and Dept of Agriculture personnel.
Reports are that after complying with Republican edits to hide from town halls, he has now agreed to a tepid telephone version that will undoubtedly be screening calls and be refusing to answer those he doesn't care to.
This is the kind of misrepresentation that voters need to grab hold of and do a shakedown. His term expires in 2026 and the Democratic party need to find a good replacement to get this huge district away from Kiley.
