General Discussion

I forgot to check the post you were replying tomorrow silly me!

BTW, Sean Casten was my rep until the district lines were redrawn a few years ago, and I voted for him at least twice (or however many times he came up for reelection), and would do it again. He's a good dude. My area got tacked onto a different district when they redrew all the lines, and I still have a Dem rep (Jan Schakowsky), but sometimes I still miss Sean.

It's true that Democrats holding townhalls definitely don't get nearly enough news coverage. I suspect part of the problem is that news people tend to regard those things as local events. They still haven't figured out that some seemingly local things have much wider significance in this age of Schlump taking a pickaxe and a chain saw to our democracy.
