Joe Heck Brings “Pay-Per-View Congress” to Nevada
Yet again, the person who claims to be my member of Congress won’t get anywhere near me… Nor any of his other constituents who can’t pay Republican clubs to ask him questions. Oh yes, that’s right. “Pay-Per-View Congress” has come to Nevada with a vengeance, and we have Joe Heck to thank for that!
Don’t believe me? Go to 4:32 on this video.
Oh yes, he did it again. And not only that, but his new “human shields” in the Sun City Anthem Republican Club actually called the police on us! Again, see for yourself. And pay close attention at 5:35.
Believe it or not, Henderson Police actually had to calm down the SCA Republicans who were outside trying to pick a fight and get us arrested. Now take a look at the videos again. And look at the photos here. Were the protesters threatening anyone? Were any of them being violent? Google “tea party violence”, then compare and contrast the “tea party” preferred course of action with what we’ve been doing.
No, really. Look at who stood outside today.
Why is Joe Heck afraid of his own constituents? Is he afraid we’ll ask him why he’s done nothing to bring jobs to Nevada? Is he afraid we’ll ask if his campaign contributions from Arch Coal, Exxon Mobil, and Koch Industries have anything to do with Heck voting against renewable energy development that can create badly needed jobs here in Nevada? Is he afraid we’ll ask why he likens Social Security to a “pyramid scheme” and keeps voting to dismantle the Medicare that seniors and disabled people in this district desperately need? Is he afraid of anyone asking him who he really serves in Congress?
What’s the point of electing a local representative to The US House of Representative if that person refuses to answer any questions from any local constituents who can’t give him campaign donations or contribute to the Republican Party? What was the whole point of last year’s election if we don’t have anyone representing us? Eventually, Joe Heck will have to face “we the people” again and answer some questions… Unless he’s already prepared to concede his reelection campaign!
And before I forget, I need to point this out one more time. When a Member of Congress directs his Congressional Office that’s funded by us the taxpayers to promote an upcoming event as a “town hall open to the public”, that means members of the public should be allowed in. But when that same member keeps hosting these “town halls” at private facilities paid for by private entities that then block the public from seeing our Member of Congress, at the very least it’s a very dirty and unethical practice. We Nevadans really deserve better than this.

Glad to see people show up and give people like Heck some notice – if you vote against PEOPLE and only for corporations, we are going to get ANGRY!
Enjoyed the article, Mr. Davey.
I am actually surprised this happened in the Henderson/Sun City/Anthem area. In the fact that others are waking up to how transparent Congressman Heck is.
Because it’s a known fact that Congressman Heck does not participate in town hall meetings in East Las Vegas (where I live). I think he knows down deep in his very soul we don’t like him here.
I received (to date) SIX tele-conference calls from that guy. I didn’t participate. Because it’s stupid. I’ll get on the line, run my question by some zombie Heck sucker-up-to person, then they (or Heck) decides whether to entertain my question, whether to ignore it, whether to keep me on the line or hang up on me. Really dumb. I’m not playing his stupid silly games.
Plus, I get the impression he only does those to pad his numbers to say he is getting ahold of his constituents and providing some kind of service.
Why do Republicans seem to always excel and participate wholly in stupid stuff like this?
Anyways, one thing I know is that I didn’t vote for this guy. He was elected. But not popularly elected. He beat Ms. Titus by only 1,900 votes or so during a time when there was poor voter turn out.
Now we have to suffer from this guy’s actions.
I just hope the voters wake up here and get rid of this vampire. Because he don’t look at his constituents as constituents. He looks at them as victims waiting to happen.
Some day, I will reveal my blog I have been keeping on the shenanigans of this Congressman from hell ever since he took office. Because it’s not only one thing, but a combination of many. You add all the stupidity of him and his adventures in this 112th Congress, a Congress which is already going down in history as one of the most useless, incompetent and party politic pursuing ones in SIXTY years.
I myself cannot wait for the 2012 elections to vote this clown out of office. He has failed all of us. And all of us in NV-03 are every day being short shrifted by this knucklehead who seems to only serve his party and himself (in that order).
If Heck had his way, Las Vegas would look like Tokyo after Godzilla goes on a rampage.
Anyways, I’m glad to see others standing up for what I already know about this do nothing Congressman I’m stuck with.
