    Congress Funds How To Avoid Constituents, Stay in Office

    Exploring Democracy in the 21st Century

    Congress Funds Study on How To Avoid Constituents, Stay in Office

    * Posted October 28th, 2009 at 5.13pm in Ongoing Priorities.

    This Friday, the tax payer funded Congressional Management Foundation (CMF) is hosting a briefing for Members of Congress and their staff on their new study: Online Town Hall Meetings: Exploring Democracy in the 21st Century. The CMF study consisted of 21 townhall meetings where Members of Congress and CMF provided a moderator: “spoke via voice over IP, and constituents asked questions and made comments by typing them. Only off-topic, redundant, unintelligible, or offensive questions were screened, and only questions asked by people who had not yet asked a question were prioritized.â€

    We can see how they vote even if they don't show up at in-person town halls.

    Correct, and we can vote, too! Then, they can see the results on Fox News.

    Paper ballots all marked with the new guy/gal minus those that did not vote for the Tarp bailouts? How many was that?

    CMF does not say what qualifies as offensive, but if this summer is any indication that definition would include anything that the Congressman did not want to talk about. In other words, this report urges Congressmen not to actually interact with their constituents, but to avoid them altogether by holding safe townhalls they can completely control. And what did CMF find where the results of these Potemkin townhalls?
    Yeah....completely control/or avoid the people they are supposed to work for....WHAT DOES THAT SOUND LIKE????

    WE HAVE TO TURN THIS RUNAWAY TRAIN AROUND BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!
