One of the most cogent, well-prepared and concise question was posed by Alexi, a high school student from Roseville. If this student is an example of the future generation we have a positive outlook ahead of us. Unlike some of the more verbose adults, Alexi's comments and question indicated a well-informed and thoughtful student who "loves school!" The entire meeting between McCollum and the audience was spirited and lively. In addition to all the information she presented, our 4th district congresswoman exhorted activity and involvement from citizens and businesses. I'm ready!!
Now is certainly the time to get involved.
ReplyDeleteI definitely am involved and have been since the day after "he" was elected. I am like a dog with a bone, determined to take back our government, constitution, and politics away from and out of the hands of the people with "dark money" that are attempting to change our country!
DeleteI can tell that you are Kate :) Hopefully there will be many, many more like yourself willing to put your opinion strongly forward.
ReplyDeleteWe need more people like her, and Alexi.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Kate. It's going to take many people "resisting" the Orange Headed Monster.
ReplyDeleteThese meetings are so important to our democracy. Great that there were high school students there to participate. Hope they stay involved.
ReplyDeleteOur congressman held a town hall a couple of weeks ago. I think a lot of the "representatives" are lying low. One wonders who they're representing anymore.
ReplyDeleteit's nice to see young people care about things other than social media :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you for going! I attended my Congressman's Town Hall meeting last weekend. The venue had to be changed because so many people wanted to attend. Ultimately, 2,000 people showed up. There was lots of yelling and chanting...and the Congressman was continually interrupted and shouted down. That went on for 75 minutes. Basically, nothing was accomplished. But, I guess some people felt better for venting.
