he does it often. Who here would care what my Congressman does for the people he represents? I'd probably have to defend him for not going to some red state and putting on a show. There are plenty of people in my district who tune in, which is what matters. My State Senator also does virtual town halls. Also well attended. I don't get what you expect of me, or them, or why you think I'm discouraging anyone. People on this site are not very fond of Democrats who simply do their job to the best of their ability.
