Think Congress isn’t listening?

Sheila Jackson Lee told the Houston Chronicle on Monday that she’s not avoiding her constitutents’ concerns;

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee assured a sometimes raucous crowd at a town hall forum Tuesday that she is listening to their concerns about health care reform legislation. At the same time, the Houston Democrat denied she had attempted to dodge opponents by giving short notice and not widely publicizing her town hall meeting after other Democrats in Congress confronted angry crowds at similar gatherings with constituents across the country.

And to prove it, here she is yesterday seriously listening to the folks that vote for her;

Even though I see the denizens of DC use that little ploy everyday to avoid confrontations over their ill behavior, I’m pretty sure that Representative Lee has more respect than that for the folks she serves. I’m sure it was an important call. Probably her hair dresser telling her that her new hair will be ready for pick up at four.

Ace of Spades and Gateway Pundit point to Patterico who discovered an astroturfing “doctor” who supported the healthcare plan – but it turns out the “doctor” is nothing but a grad student of Lee’s husband and an Obama donor. But there are no plants at these events, are there?
