For months, members of various Indivisible groups, primarily from the Jacksonville area, have visited Rubio's office on a weekly basis. They've been consistent and informed, arriving with well thought out issues for the Senator's aide to consider. It has been a respectful and peaceful exchange.
Now the office has eliminated every other week, citing the reason that DC has instructed them to "engage in more community outreach". Wondering where? Well, the last one we're aware of occurred at an Orange Park Senior center. While it's admirable that our seniors are FINALLY being recognized as constituents (and hopefully spoke up about their Medicaid concerns), there's no reason the office visits are being cancelled. One aide does the outreach, as in the example above, and the other aide stays back to address constituent concerns. This is not brain surgery.
Just a suggestion: since a coordinated group speaking for many can't have a few minutes of Rubio's aide's time, maybe we should just phone it in individually (until the voicemail inevitably gets full). Surely that'll make his office more efficient. Just trying to help.
