You can fully expect that if your Republican congressman or senator is hosting a town hall event during the current two-week Easter recess, there will be liberal protesters there, attempting to hijack the event.
The Center for American Progress, a political action committee founded by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chairman, John Podesta, is urging its followers to engage in a “recess resistance.” Not only that, but the group is offering tips and resources to ensure those efforts are successful.
Here’s what the group wrote in an email to supporters obtained Monday by Charisma Caucus:
Members of Congress are back in their districts for two weeks for recess, which means we’re back to resisting at town halls, rallies and other district events. There’s a lot to resist from the past couple of weeks—especially the fact that congressional Republicans are trying to bring back Trumpcare, which threatens the health care of tens of millions of people and that they are doing little to avert an impending government shutdown. Additionally, it’s time to ask for an independent investigation on Russia, especially since the Trump campaign is under FBI investigation for colluding with Russia.
So whether you’re new to the resistance game or a pro, we’ve got the tools to help. Check out our RecessToolkit.com, which will help you plug into the resistance from anywhere. It includes questions to ask your member at a town hall, sample social media and more. Join the resistance, because with President Trump hurting people’s lives left and right, we might as well give it all we got.
There’s so much misinformation in those two paragraphs, it’s difficult to know where to start. Perhaps the best thing to do is to pray for our elected representatives, and if you have the time, offer yourself as a source of encouragement to them. {eoa}
