Having served in Congress for three months now, Representative Scott Rigell has taken some flack from impatient local Tea Party and libertarian groups for some of his votes. Despite that, Rigell has extensively used his facebook group to explain and solicit feedback from his constituents.
With the most recent CR resolution, Rigell not only joined the ‘freshmen revolt’, voting against the continuing CR resolution after seeing firsthand the process after the issues coming from the Senate, he took it a step further. Rigell is calling for the House to serve the constituents of the United States seven days as a week, “because I consider this to be a true, fiscal budgetary crisis, and your calendar reflects your priorities. I think we should be here, in the House seven days a week, until we address this.”

Interested constituents can also interact with Congressman Rigell this coming Monday for his second town-hall, at Azalea Middle School in Norfolk. (link to facebook event)
