Graham, Scott, Wilson need to meet with voters

U.S. Sens. Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott and Rep. Joe Wilson need to meet with their constituents. We follow their voting records and do not always understand their reasoning. We have ideas we would like to discuss with them.

I and my friends call their offices regularly, some of us calling daily. We do not get to talk to them. Someone, likely an intern, takes messages. This does not take the place of talking with our congressmen, whose job is to serve us constituents.

These gentlemen should do their job and schedule town hall meetings in Columbia, which is centrally located to everyone. We the people are waiting.
