The article "Ted Cruz Locks Constituents Out, Won't Make Appointments," speaks of a recent event of voters denied access to speak to our Senator Ted Cruz. For a while now, constituents have been trying to reach Senator Ted Cruz in order to voice their thoughts concerning Donald Trump's nominees. Voters have attempted calling Cruz’ staffers but their calls go straight to voicemail; which is so full that staffers are “unable to accept new messages.” On January 24, 2017, a few people visited Ted Cruz’ Houston district office, and two people were allowed to talk to staff members only to be told that only “representatives of groups” could meet with Cruz and that they had to schedule an appointment by phone!
I believe this article is worth reading because it allows us as Texas citizens to get a better understanding of how our senator regards the people that he represents in Congress. One can conclude from this article that it can be next to impossible to speak to our Senators. If we allow our Senators or any elected candidate to get away with these actions of misrepresentation than they’ll be forced to believe that there is no problem to be solved.
