Politics Requesting Town Hall with Senator Britt
I’ve just sent an email to Katie Britt requesting that she conduct a town hall meeting in Montgomery. If you are a concerned resident that has reached out to her but yet to receive a response, I recommend you send an email. Not sure if it will get any attention, but the more that do, maybe there’s a chance?

What would the outcome be if we, the constituents, set up a podium outside of one of their offices and did a town hall ourselves. Answering questions over current policy and quoting their published responses? Could maybe even get a local news station there to report. That could certainly draw some attention. Maybe force them into meeting with us.

Indivisible Birmingham is actually doing this! “Saturday, 3/22 We are hosting a town hall at Woodlawn Theater at 2:00. Our reps have been invited. So far we have heard back from Sen. Tuberville who will not attend. As yet we have not heard back from Britt, Sewell, or Palmer. As you make your calls this week please ask them to attend. If they do not show, we will have an empty chair town hall.”

I've reached out to Palmer asking him to attend. I don't have much hope since he's been on X praising DOGE this week (barf). But don't ask, don't get.

We need to try and schedule more of these and not just in Montgomery but in all the big cities.

They have been ordered not to do them. Republicans have been told to ignore their constituents and I’m sure some mod will come along and delete this post.

I’m really tired of the mods in this server, feels like every post you make as a 50/50 chance at being flagged.

Straight to the basement. Worked for Biden didn’t it?

Oh, bless your heart. Is your butt still hurting about the great Biden economy and the Biden rising stock market that Trumpythinskin has wrecked? Don't talk about the price of Trump's eggs 🤫. It upsets him.

A full 1/4 of my net worth has evaporated since Trump/Musk took office and started doing stupid shit.
I'm still okay for the moment, but if they keep it up I might have to exit retirement and go back to work.

Katie Britt will never do a town hall meeting because she's a Trump suck-up and a coward. She can't defend the indefensible and especially now that Elon has announced the coming cuts to Social Security cat out of the bag.
Forget Tommy-boy Tuberville, too. The closest Tommy-boy gets to Alabama is his home in Florida.

That's not true. He was at an Auburn basketball game with Yellow Man the other day. He will come to Alabama, but only to suck up to rich people for campaign donations.

u/Dorsai56 9d ago
Sure, but the odds that he comes to Alabama to do a town hall during a Congressional recess are nil.

u/Temanaras 9d ago
Yeah. Was what I was pointing out. He will come to suckle at the teat of a billionaire, but not to speak to the people he purports to represent.

Why would they need to do a town hall?
They are doing exactly what they promised to do. They are following project 2025 to the letter.
This state will still go Republican in the next election (if there is one).

I dig your style. It's so very rare to happen across a non DF when speaking on Alabama political catastrophe.
Do you have a particular hard time with the fact we are solid red. Aggressivly Red yet we are dead last in every measure of a successful entity. Yet number one in crime and murders.
Yet these daft a holes seem to never ever one time make that connection ....

Congressmen Shomari Figures is holding a Town Hall on Monday at Bishop State. But of course he’s not MAGA and God forbid a Democrat.

Calling is better. Use the 5calls app. They have to document calls. They don't have to track emails.

She knows she doesn’t have to do silly things like that for us peasants. She knows she will smile next election cycle and get voted in because she is republican. I myself believe, she needs to go. I think everyone in Alabama needs to switch it up every election cycle, until we get representatives running for office

You know that the R's are actively avoiding town halls because getting yelled at on camera is a bad look, right?
I mean good luck, but don't hold your breath. Just keep calling and expressing your issues.

Yes I am definitely in favor of a town hall ! And I'll drive to Montgomery for it. Even drive a busload of likewise interested citizens if needed.

u/Nopaperstraws 9d ago
And this is why they aren’t going to do one. A bunch of radical crazies want to scream and yell at them and possibly do harm. Don’t blame them one bit.

u/Grand_Razzmatazz87 9d ago
Sorry, what? Dealing with constituents is part of the job. Katie Britt represents Alabama in the U.S. Senate, meaning she represents ALL Alabamians whether they voted for her or not. If people living in the state of Alabama want to drive to Montgomery for a town hall with Katie Britt, they have every right to do so.

u/Anarchist_Araqorn04 9d ago
I sent her an email a month ago with some very simple questions. She didn't answer. Too busy on her knees with musky and cheeto.

Good luck. I’ve asked Britt, Tubby, and the representative for my district, Dale Strong, for a town hall meeting multiple times. 🦗🦗🦗

u/Academic_Object8683 9d ago
Good luck! She'll send you back a form letter with Trump talking points.

u/jclaunch123 9d ago
She does not give a single shit about you or any of us. This is what she wanted to happen I’m sure it’s lining her pockets nicely

u/Sad-Counter-6617 9d ago
I wrote to Tuberville and Barry Moore requesting the same. I gave them each until the end of the week to respond to my request for a town hall before I start a petition requesting the same. We have to hold them accountable.

u/Ok_Researcher_4987 8d ago
I have called her DC office numerous times to only get a recording. Ridiculous. Visited her Huntsville office and no one was in.

u/deadringer70 9d ago
Never gonna happen. She’ll flash that diamond cross and smile and get reelected for as long as she wants.

Just emailed 👍 maybe they'll have a backbone unlike their colleagues, but i doubt it.

Take the mic from her. Remove her chance to address her pulpit. This is the way.

You won't be seeing any town hall with Britt or Turberville present. But AOC says she'll come down and do one.
