Americans are taking an active role in their democracy, and their representatives cant handle it
Every Tuesday since January 20th, a group of Rep. Dana Rohrabachers (R-CA) constituents have gone to his local office in Huntington Beach, California, to try to get the answer to one key question: When can they talk to their representative?
When they showed up on January 31st, however, they were met with a locked door. One person was able to talk to staff through the intercom, but then the staff stopped answering. Eventually, the police came out from inside the locked office where they appeared to have been waiting for the constituents to show up.
Theres a lot going on in our country right now and we want to be represented, and we feel like thats not happening, Mike Lisenbery, one of Rohrabachers constituents, told ThinkProgress.
A request to Rohrabachers office for comment has not been returned.
Rohrabacher was an early supporter of President Donald Trump, and has come out in support of all of Trumps policies. The majority of people in Rohrabachers district voted for Hillary Clinton.
