A poorly made picture to illustrate our bafflement about Jim Moran’s whereabouts!
It’s been exactly one year, four months, and one day since Jim Moran’s last town hall meeting (which was one he would prefer to forget). That’s 489 days since Moran has held any kind of public constituent meeting. Sure, he’s sponsored forums and events, but he tends to leave those early.
Since the 112th Congress convened on 1/5/2011, there have been 111 scheduled constituent work days, when members of the House are generally expected to, you know, work with their constituents. (See for yourself: 1st Session calendar, 2nd Session calendar.)
The August recess is when most members hold town hall meetings since it lasts a month. But Jim Moran didn’t do anything last August and doesn’t have anything scheduled for this August.
What makes this even more outrageous is the fact that Moran lives literally minutes away from D.C. It’s not like he has to fly back to his district like almost all other members. And he also has a very geographically small district. Many members have to hold multiple town hall meetings in multiple parts of their district because their districts cover thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of square miles. Here, Moran could schedule a meeting anywhere in the district and it would be easily accessible to every constituent in very little travel time with access to virtually any type of transportation.
There is absolutely no excuse for Moran not to hold meetings; no valid reason at all. Why should we stand for this utter lack of respect and courtesy from our congressman? We deserve better.
I agree. with him, we have NO representation. He does Nothing for this district or his constituants. Most districts are kept up to date, however with him we see hide nor hair…what a weasel…I’ve never liked him, was appalled by the action that got me redistricted from my woesnderful district that I moved to to avoid the dem northern va. spew., only to get him. it was done so that he could pander to the hispanic vote of this area and that was it..votes for him is all he cared about…he should have to pay back every dime he has incurred of the residents.
2 of the lowest performing schools are in this district, and for some strange reason they got completely redone, brand new, and my kids who excelled with 3.7GPA’s w/ 92 as a A at Longfellow and McLean went to school in trailers and still got A’s..why is it in this district the best performers get crap and the lowest, non-english speaking get it all? new schools will not make them perform any better, that comes from home and within..kids who go to school in trailers and still get accepted to top colleges are the proof. This county will not get another vote or dime from this long time resident for ANY social type initiative.
Moran is the reason and must go!
