Looks Like The Senators And Congresspersons Are Finally Earning Their Money.......
by having to conduct these Town Halls amid all the disruption. The question is - will this make them stronger and fill with more conviction to listen to their constituents or will this cause them to retreat to the comfort and security of Washington D.C. where they don't have to put up with this.

Basically - are these Town Halls making this a more interactive government - Of, For and By the People - or will this cause our legislators to withdraw from us altogether.

How will they react?

1. I'm sure they won't withdraw
I think this is going to change government and make it more interactive. You have to think how things change in this country, First there is chaos enough to bring attention to an issue, Which brings it center stage. I'm glad that the Republicans made fools of themselves because it will only show us that we need to fix some things and that our politicians need to be on their A games.

2. I don't know how they will react, but...
...for sure, they are finding out what teaching is like. On a difficult day, this is EXACTLY what it is like.
