Elle, it doesn't hurt to keep asking those questions.

Even if they're ignored, THEY'RE ASKED. Anna Eschoo & Co. know that they can't keep the lid on this and other facts indefinitely. That's a good thing AND you helped to make a Good Thing happen.

Take a bow!

Thanks Gemma, we all gotta just keep on chipping away, right. Changes for the betterment of society were never created by people who just sat on their asses : D.

Good job and attempt. IтАЩm also in her district and want to do something similar. IтАЩve never joined her townhallтАжdoes she have one weekly? Is the format where you write your question and they answer them in chronological order without any audience person allowed to speak? Or do they get to a question and then the person asking the question is able to speak live to ask question? IтАЩm sure itтАЩs the former so they can screen and control the questions that get asked live. If the latter I have some ideas ЁЯШЙ.

Thanks, I think it's every week or two. I believe you can hear past calls on this page. https://eshoo.house.gov/live During the call, you just hit *3 to submit a question.... but if it's anything that isn't licking the behind of big pharma and our beloved democracy, your call will never be heard live. You can, however, leave a voicemail when it's all over, and according to Anna Eschoo, she will get back to every person. Sometimes I do wonder about that, as I remember Christine Blasey Ford saying in Brett Kavanaugh's hearing, that she contacted Anna Eschoo's office, but never heard back. At least I thought that is what I remembered hearing, but I could be wrong. I guess I will see, if she actually calls me back, or if someone from her office does.
