My rep Randy Hultgren is holding a town hall meeting in 2 hours. Need some question suggestions!

I just found out about it. It's nearby, at 10:30 am, so I'm rearranging work stuff right now and will take off within 2 hours.

He's a Tea Party Rethug. I'd love to have any concise question suggestions. I'm heading back out again to finish chores but will check back in before I go.

Many thanks in advance.

1. Ask him why he continues to vote against the wishes of his constituents

GOP, DEMS and Tea Party nutsos love social programs i.e. Medicare and Social Security. Ask him why he voted for Paul Ryan's plan. Tell him that all health insurance is expensive (inflation) and transferring health care costs to seniors already struggling will do nothing to solve his manufactured fiscal crisis.

2. Neat.

Ask him whether he supports the Republican cuts to social safety net programs without asking the wealthy to share in the sacrifice.

Ask him what his thoughts are on the debt ceiling negotiations.

"Where are the jobs in Illinois?"

3. You can toss some of these Mitch Daniels quotes at him

He thinks the "rich can do more." Not my preference so far as policy is concerned, but he might feel compelled to respond to a fellow Republican's call for some sacrifices from the wealthy.

4. Ask him where the jobs bill repukes promised is.

And where the jobs are. And why after seven months of repuke majority in the House the unemployment rate went up. And why they introduced bills about abortion and other social issues rather than focusing on jobs. And why they're liars.
