Congressmen want your input--until they don't.
The staff of Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho got tired of the group of liberal seniors who routinely came by their congressman's office--probably to fight for their health care.
So staff member Scott Carleton reported the group to the US Capitol Police.
The group, Lewis-Clarkston Valley Indivisible, is affiliated with national Indivisible.us, which encourages town hall meetings with members of Congress.
The message? "Just vote for us--don't ask us to listen to you once we're in office."
