Letter to The Roanoke Times
"Every person, no matter their politics viewpoint, should be angry at legislators who refuse to hold town hall meetings with constituents... to run away from the people who hired you is wrong and a reason for dismissal. What I mean is this: We the people elect representatives to be our voices in government, at every level of government. Our tax dollars pay the salary and benefits of those representatives. In other words, we are the employers, and they are our employees."
"Haw (sic) anyone ever heard of a boss calling his/her employee in for a meeting and simply accepting that the employee says, “I won’t come”? Of course not. Have any of us refused to give requested information to our boss? Can you imagine what would happen to any one of us if we were that insubordinate?"
"In recent weeks, many “bosses” have phoned and called the offices of Rep. Bob Goodlatte. Most have received nothing, and don’t expect to receive anything in response. After all, he doesn’t realize that we’re his bosses, and he works for us, not the other way around. I know I’m just one of his many bosses in the 6th District. I will likely lose when time to vote for or against him comes in 2018; however, as one of his bosses, I have the right to demand that he hear my position and my views."
