Still weeks behind

So, Fifth District Representative Chris Murphy finally changed his web page. Today, Sunday, September 13, he indicates that his meetings with his constituents are as follows:

"Congress on Your Corner
Chris' Public Events on Health Care Reform

Over the last few years, I have held dozens of supermarket office hour sessions, known as "Congress on Your Corner" events, and town halls across Connecticut's Fifth District. At every stop, we had the opportunity to talk about what was going on in your community, and what you wanted Congress to work on to improve our lives here in Connecticut.

I can't do my job without hearing from you, so I hope you can join me for breakfast Tuesday September 1 through Friday September 4, from 8-9am, to talk about health care reform. I'll bring the coffee, you bring the conversation.

Tuesday and Friday - Library Park, Waterbury

Wednesday and Thursday - CityCenter Danbury Green, Danbury

And I will be hosting a town hall meeting in Washington, CT, on Wednesday, September 2 from 5:30-7pm. The meeting will take place at Shepaug Valley High School, 159 South Street, Washington."

Once again, it's great to see that these appearances are listed well in advance and are timely (NOT!). These appearances were very poorly publicized (never saw anything about them in my local paper), and as you can see from today's entry and the postings below, it is worthless to check Representative Murphy's website for timely updates as he doesn't update this particular web page often (ex: today is September 13, the last meeting listed above took place almost 2 weeks ago).

Once again, at the next election, I urge all voters to vote incumbents out, no matter what party they are in of you are in. It is time to make sure Congress hears the voice of the people.
