It's the August recess for Congress and members everywhere are back "in the district" and meeting with their constituents.
Well...
Almost everyone.
The Gentleman from North Carolina's Third Congressional District will not be meeting with constituents.
I know because I tried to find out...
First, I visited his campaign's website's events list. Don't worry, it's not you, it really is blank.

Congressman Walter B. Jones, Jr - Against Surging Plan
Submitted by Thomas Brock on Wed, 01/10/2007 - 12:11pm.Cross-posted from the Brock Log and the Onslow County Politics Web-log.
Last week I emailed Congressman Walter B. Jones, Jr's office requesting his view of the President's plan to surge military forces into Iraq.
I wrote.
President Bush is rumored to enlarge the military presence in Iraq by sending between 20,000 and 40,000 additional troops. Military commanders have not requested the additional military support and have stated that such a large presence will cause more harm than good. In the past, President Bush has stated that troop levels are established by the military commanders not by political decision-making.
It is evident that the President has changed his process in deciding troop levels and has moved to replace Army Generals Abizaid and Casey (the senior military commanders in Iraq).
Does Congressman Jones agree with the President's political decision (made against recommendation of the military commanders) to enlarge the military presence in Iraq?
Congressman Jones, Jr - Not concerned about Terrorists from Iraq or Afghanistan
Submitted by Thomas Brock on Tue, 09/26/2006 - 7:34pm.Congressman Walter B. Jones, Jr. just made a statement on the House floor that he's "more concerned about terrorism coming from Central and South America than I am coming from Iraq and Afghanistan, quite frankly."
And yes, folks, that's a word for word verbatim quotation.
I'm sorry, but has there been some terrorist attack made by the half-baked, starving and dehydrated illegal immigrants crossing into the Southern U.S. that I haven't heard about?
