Is your Congressman hiding from you?



Scores of congressmen and women are trying to hide from their constituents this August recess as the revolt over ObamaCare continues," says Investor's Business Daily.

From a recent editorial:
It's amazing how frightened of the community the party of the great community organizer has become now that the community has organized itself against his attempt to impose socialized medicine on the country.

They cheered when he told them to get in the faces of their opponents. Now they won't show their faces, period.

Ed Morrissey of HotAir.com has suggested we start putting the faces of our representatives on the side of milk cartons. He notes that the entire New Hampshire congressional delegation seemingly went into the witness protection program to avoid meeting constituents in an open town hall. Some offered a conference call "meeting" of sorts. New Hampshire ABC affiliate WMUR reported that Democratic Rep. Paul Hodes, who wants to run for the U.S. Senate next year, planned to attend a meeting on health care, one that will let only AARP members attend.

The state motto may soon be changed to "let live, flee, or die."
Read the full editorial, "Congressmen On Milk Cartons?" at the newspaper's Web site.
