Congressman Gerry Connolly continues to hide from constituents and a Town Hall

He's no where to be found. Refuses to hold a town hall.

Except Connolly's so-called telephone town halls with pre-recorded questions.

Connolly is a coward. Afraid of his own constituents in a district that is over 60% Democrat.

He could learn from Barbara Comstock, who goes to community events almost every weekend, and takes questions in front of cameras without prescreening them.

For $50 you can go to Connolly's Paddy's Day party. For more dollars, you can shake his hand.

Some citizens of Northern Virginia are pushing for their congressman to show up to a town hall meeting they have organized.

They want Rep. Gerry Connolly, a Democrat who represents Virginia's 11th District, to answer their questions at a town hall meeting Friday.

But they haven't heard from Connolly that he will attend. Connolly and a staffer did not respond when News4 asked if the congressman would be there.

Two residents of Virginia’s 11th District, Kristine Condie and Jan Hyland, said they simply want a face-to-face, public conversation with Connolly.

“We have no desire to be confrontational in our communication with Representative Connolly,” Condie said.

“We’re really looking for him to be our representative and our champion in Washington D.C., and we certainly don’t want to do anything that would be disparaging to him," Condie said. "It would be great to give him the opportunity to speak on his behalf and not have us rely on sound-bites or press releases.”

The meeting was organized by members of Indivisible V11-E, which on its Twitter page calls itself a bipartisan group in northern Virginia "intent on restoring integrity" in government. The group says it is "following" Indivisible, a website that claims it provides “a practical guide for resisting the Trump agenda.”

In a video posted to their Twitter account, the group formally invited Connolly to the Fairfax Jewish Community Center calling for dialogue. The group says it is expecting 150 residents to attend the Friday evening town hall meeting.

Indivisible has used social media before to urge other members of Congress to meet with constituents. Earlier this month, Indivisible organizers praised the people who packed a Utah town hall held by Rep. Jason Chaffetz — a meeting that sometimes erupted into raucous protest.

If he doesn't hold a town hall I'm going to break the rules and tell you where his AA meeting is.
You can talk to him there.

Go to any buffet that offers cheap unlimited food. You will find him with his snout in the mashed potato bin.

Tell Gerry there will be young boys there, and you can bet that he will show up with candy for them in his pockets.

Beautiful Saturday afternoon. Thanks to failed Democrats, we can credit global warming fiction for 70 degree weather today.

To you think we might find Gerry Connolly outside visiting constituents today?

Of course not.
