My elected Representative to the U.S. House of Representatives has gone AWOL. It appears for some reason that Mr. Salazar cannot hold a town hall meeting in the second largest city in his district.
The excuse I read in the Sentinel was that "We are having town hall meetings which are teleconference meetings throughout the district. The district is very, very big." a quote from Mr. Salazar made during the Presidential visit. Mr. Salazar also made another visit, to Grand Junction, to "round table" with health care leaders. Why didn't he schedule a town hall when he was here one of those two times?
As for the size of our district yes it is large, but it is also mountainous so people don't live on every inch of land. People are usually bunched up in areas we call cities, that have things called airports for you to land a taxpayer funded airplane ride.
As for the "teleconference town hall meetings" I think that is just a way to disconnect (to use a telephone phrase) from the people. I think he needs to see us. We are his employers, we need to know what the hell he plans on doing with health care.
What Mr. Salazar has to remember is, that he does not work for Nancy Pelosi or President B.H. Obama he works for us, the citizens of Colorado's the third Congressional District. What Mr. Salazar has not done is meet with the people whom he works and the boss is getting mad!
