2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMy Congressman, Robert Dold
Of course I did not vote for him but he is a Republican who doesn't seem to be in lock step. So he voted for the contempt citation. I keep getting his ads for his Facebook page so I decided to click it and I wrote something about how he is my Congressman and I find the Republican tactics, especially this contempt citation, to be utterly disgusting. I asked him to please justify his vote. I also told him that I respected his moderation, but that this was kind of extreme. So I basically asked him: what gives?
My post was deleted immediately.
There's something wrong with that. Don't you think? I was a little aggressive but not disrespectful. I had a legitimate concern. I find it to be cowardly that he won't face one of his constituents.

During the debt ceiling Republican manufactured crises I wrote and call my senators and representative several times. The replies were polite at best. I was told, in a nice way, that I was wrong, they were right now shut-up.

My district, and his, has been redistricted by Democrats. I would like to be there in November when his ass is booted out.
