    Now I see. I've never been a fan of the button. I just scroll right past the shit I don't think is worth reading and make fun of the stalkers.

    Gabby Giffords:

    "Town halls and countless constituent meetings were a hallmark of my tenure in Congress. It’s how I was able to serve the people of southern Arizona. I believed that listening to my constituents was the most basic and core tenet of the job I was hired to do.

    “I was shot on a Saturday morning. By Monday morning my offices were open to the public. Ron Barber – at my side that Saturday, who was shot multiple times, then elected to Congress in my stead – held town halls. It’s what the people deserve in a representative.

    “In the past year, campaigning for gun safety, I have held over 50 public events.

    “Many of the members of Congress who are refusing to hold town halls and listen to their constituents concerns are the very same politicians that have opposed commonsense gun violence prevention policies and have allowed the Washington gun lobby to threaten the safety of law enforcement and everyday citizens in our schools, businesses, places of worship, airports, and movie theaters.

    “To the politicians who have abandoned their civic obligations, I say this: Have some courage. Face your constituents. Hold town halls.”

    I'm really glad we have your position paper on it. We all won't have to go through life breathlessly wondering.

    The button is cowardly. For people who know deep down they're overmatched. It's the "no mas" of message board options.
