Liberal group buys Burr lost & found ad

[TexasTowelie]

Claiming that North Carolina’s Republican U.S. senators are dodging their constituents, a group of liberal activists took out a quarter-page “lost and found” ad in The News & Observer on Sunday.

“LOST – United States Senator,” the ad begins. “He may respond to the title ‘Senator Richard Burr’, though his constituents have been unable to verify whether this is still the case, as they have been unable to contact him in recent weeks. … If found, please return Senator Burr to his constituents by way of a Town Hall meeting or other suitable gathering in which the Senator demonstrates his accountability to his constituents by listening to and honestly addressing their concerns.”

The North Carolina chapter of the national group Together We Will, which focuses on the fallout from President Donald Trump’s election, is behind the newspaper ad. Evalyn Johnson of Apex said Monday the idea came from frustrations over not being able to connect with the senators’ offices, a concern she hopes will resonate with moderate Republicans.

“I wanted it not to be partisan, so I could get the message to people who aren’t liberal,” she said.

1. We need a billboard. But I doubt it will help.

Burr has short timers. This is his last rodeo. I'm guessing he's spending all of his energy trying to fly under the radar.

Thanks for the post Texas Towelie. ♡
