Silent leaders

Congress is on recess. Yet Sen. Marco Rubio and Congresswoman Ileana

Ros-Lehtinen refuse to hold town hall meetings with their constituents, after months of repeated requests.

Democracy is about assisting constituents and taking seriously their issues and concerns.

If they can’t do the job, we will elect people who will engage with us; 2018 is rapidly approaching!

Kitty Roedel,

Coconut Grove
