'Missing' Stickers Placed on Milk Cartons After Lawmaker Dodges Town Halls
by Lindsey Ellefson | 2:39 pm, February 21st, 2017
In the past few weeks, town halls have become a very big deal. No, really. People are showing up to speak to — and yell at — their representatives in person and they’re doing it in numbers that are leaving political observers stunned.
Some officials are brushing off the anger. Some are insisting that the attendees must be paid agitators. Others, however, just aren’t showing up to be spoken to by the people who elected them as representatives. Congressman Paul Cook of California is one of those who hasn’t scheduled any town halls and, judging by the following display, some of his constituents are very worried about him.
