Reply #7: some reps meet regularly with their constituents

[welshTerrier2]

i've been told Senator Feingold does this and my Congressman, Jim McGovern, holds regular meetings in his district ...

i've attended several of these meeting with Congressman McGovern and at each one was able to give him my thoughts on the key issues, challenge him on his views, and even when i disagreed with him, develop respect for him because he explained his thinking in great detail ...

the goal of these meetings is not to make everyone have the same exact views on the issues; the goal is to ensure that all are being heard and that even where disagreements exist, respect can still be developed ...
