Talk about calling them out as the fucking cowards that they are. Ouch.

Kudos to Gabby!

If that doesn’t shame them, no person on the planet will be able to shame them.

Alas, they’ve already proven time and again they are wanton, craven and shameless. Their cowardice truly knows no bounds.

Perhaps it’s time we start faxing them with the salutation: Dear Hero.

GOP: Shaming is a liberal PC technique. We are the inclusive, anti-bullying, anti-shaming party. For SHAME, Democrats!

“I was shot on a Saturday morning. By Monday morning my offices were open to the public.”

That deafening noise you hear in GOP Congressional offices all across America?

The sound of shrinkage.

Somebody on his staff will probably tell president TweedleDum not to attack her in a tweet. Who knows if he’ll listen.

The only possible reason a Republican member of Congress would have for holding a town hall meeting would be to find out what their constituents think about the issues.

Given that there aren’t any Republicans in Congress who actually give a damn about what their constituents think about anything, I can’t see a reason for any of them to schedule such a meeting.

Don’t count on any sentient life on those seven extra solar planets orbiting Trappist-1 shaming them either

Money quote, says billionaire heiress.

Earlier in her speech, DeVos struck an ideological tone about education. She took aim at the media and liberals, calling herself the “first person to tell Bernie Sanders to his face, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.”

*As long as they think their constituents already agree with them.

That extreme vetting and a campaign check will get you through their door.

Gohmert was going on about how he was advised not to have town hall meetings because crazy armed liberals will kill him to death with their conceal carry AKs just like they tried to murder Gabby.

@corncaucus2008–“Who knows if he’ll listen.” He won’t. It will become yet another embarrassing incident in galaxy of them. Sad!

I’s so sick of these people. Here’s some quick boilerplate if you want to fax it to them. They are already running scared. I see no reason not to turn up the heat.

Dear Hero:

You have failed to hold Town Hall meetings to hear your constituents’ concerns. Evidently this is due to your well-founded fear that your constituents may be unhappy with you, your recent voting record, and your callous disregard for the citizens whom you were elected to represent.

While we, the voters, are sensitive to your constant need for positive, nurturing reinforcement as well as your on-going need for financial support. Please don’t expect any of those things in the future from me or the legions of angry citizens you’ve fostered until you commit yourself to doing the job to which you were elected.

As you may or may not be aware, Gabby Giffords was shot in the head on a Saturday while meeting with her constituents. By Monday morning her offices were again open to the public.

She was and is the very representation of true courage, one that you could well take a lesson from.

Should you fail to heed her lessons and continue to cowardly hide from your constituents you may rest assured: This is your LAST TERM in office.

In closing, SHAME ON YOU. You have an obligation as an elected representative to DO YOUR JOB. Either DO IT OR GET OUT!

Sincerely yours,

Don’t forget that one of her aides was killed that day too and many more of her team witnessed the attack. And they STILL went back to work on Monday!
