(1 post)I would have loved to hear him respond as well. He didn't even try. After the public open mic Lungren just gave the same statements that he had given two days before in Elk Grove. He talked about how Obama's Health plan is taking 17B dollars from Medicare (not true); how he nominated 11 students from our area to the various Military Academies; how some airline donated 2 tickets to DC so the local winner of the Congressional Art contest and a parent could go to the ceremony; and how the Ryan Plan does not have a voucher system.
When we tried to get him to respond to the very real facts that we had asked about, nearly 20 constituents each had given as carefully a prepared set of questions as mine had been, he name-called saying that we needed to behave like adults. When several very frustrated citizens called out for him to respond with truth, he stormed out of the meeting.
There will be a final Town Hall this Wednesday, Aug. 22 and we will all gather to try again to get him to respond. Or maybe just go. He has been far too out of it for far too long.
