... I just want a candidate who cares and engages. If Donna would sponsor one open town hall that doesn't have @andrewyang and/or @JulianCastro and/or @BetoORourke moderating and is just her answering questions... that would go a LONG way for a lot of us. Happy to discuss more

Thank you Craig. This is good to know and individual interactions get lost in the shuffle. I am very excited by Imam from a policy POV. She comes across as someone deeply Progressive but w/ the practicality that has cross-over appeal to other ideological spectrums.

Blocking constituents is very unprofessional. She needs to be held accountable for this. I would recommend reaching out to
@HumanistReport or@kthalps or@ryangrim who are very fair at holding Progressive people accountable.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

Hi Adam. I’m not going to get into the complete misconception that I am “for a public option” on healthcare that the Imam campaign falsely promoted during the campaign, but I am going to weigh in on this blocking issue. I have a list of over 60 constituents who

have been blocked, and those are just the ones I know about. These are not trolls as the Imam campaign keeps saying. They are elected Democrats, Democratic candidates, former Democratic candidates, high dollar Democratic donors, founders of activist groups, and

others who have spent years building the foundation that Ms. Imam is standing on. Block walkers, phone bankers, voter registrars. Many of them were blocked before they asked a single question or sent a single message to the campaign. Some simply asked her to hold

a public event, then were blocked. Several have sent very conciliatory emails asking her to engage and were ignored. And her campaign just lumps them all in as “trolls”. She is incredibly disrespectful to the very people she needs to win. She seems to not understand

that she answers to us. That’s the job. Most of the people who have been blocked are very progressive, several are leftists. These are her natural base and she is showing them contempt, by not just blocking and ignoring them, but by spreading the idea that they are trolls.

We have reached out to
@AndrewYang@BetoORourke@HumanistReport@EmgageAction and others to help broker a resolution, but Ms. Imam continues to falsely claim that there is no problem and that she is only blocking “trolls’; none of these groups have cared. They too1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

are ignoring these constituents. So if you want to characterize me as “throwing a hissy fit”, go for it. If holding candidates and elected officials accountable to those they say they want to represent is a “hissy fit”, count me in. I’ve been doing political work

for more than a decade and was a founding member of a local Individible group, where we held those how have power over us accountable. I’m going to continue to do that. I’m going to *demand* that politicians work for us; that they are *asking* for the opportunity to serve;

and that the *minimum* job requirement is interacting with constituents. Ms. Imam is failing that basic job requirement, and I’m going to continue the work I’ve been doing for years, even if people like you who do not know me at all want to paint me in a negative light.

But lastly, Adam, I’ll issue you a challenge. If you really think I’m making this up or throwing a hissy fit, reach out to Ms. Imam and ask her when she is going to unblock constituents and when she is going to hold a public, free Town Hall. Tweet her. See what happens.
