We, the people of Arizona's 4th Congressional District demand a Town Hall meeting be immediately scheduled. Instead of speaking directly to constituents, Representative Paul Gosar has chosen to host a "conversation" with another member of Congress over the phone that people could call into. We want the real ability to engage with our representative in person and be heard. He has had time during the Congressional Recesses.
Representative Gosar has held several Town Hall meetings during each of the last two years. We, his constituents have current and pressing concerns and request that he hold an in-person Town Hall meeting as soon as possible. Paul Gosar represents all citizens living in his district, not just those who agree with him. He should not be afraid to hear all voices.
We hope Representative Gosar stops avoiding his constituents and schedules an in-person town hall where we can exercise our basic Constitutional rights in this representative democratic system.

We hit 100 signatures and Gosar is still hiding behind his cowardly phone schemes instead of facing us. This is just the beginning of making sure he knows he cannot dodge his own constituents forever.

Mr. Gosar, you should welcome the chance to meet with and share a dialogue with your constituents, you are our hired representative, but if you're afraid, perhaps you should stick to dentistry.
He likes to have controlled phone meetings where unscreened participants are muted so he can preach and receive adulation from his choir. Is he listening to or representing his entire base? Good joke! He represents part of his district, not the rest.
Representative Gosar can not actually be a representative if he will not meet with the constituents he is supposed to be representing. The Prescott quad city area wants a Town Hall Meeting, not a hand picked support group or donor group like he is currently doing.
I am an active member of the Prescott community and I would like to see my "representative" willingly engage with us as well. Instead of hiding in your echochamber, please listen to the people that have real concerns.
I don't remember a more politically unsettled time. Everyday the news is filled with potentially life changing new legislative proposals and executive orders. Your constituents need you. To come home to Arizona at this time and not schedule a time to listen to them is a huge missed opportunity.
Paul Gosar's undemocratic actions are unacceptable.
Unacceptable behavior.
