Constituents go looking for Congressman Davis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Residents from the 13th congressional district will send a caravan of vehicles across
the district next Wednesday, September 23rd in search of Congressman Rodney Davis.
The "Where's Rodney?" campaign is a grassroots effort to pressure Congressman Davis
to fulfill his commitment to attend a community meeting on Comprehensive Immigration
Reform.

On July 1st at a meeting with community members, Rep. Davis agreed to attend a community
meeting to share his views and hear from the community on immigration reform. However,
after more than 10 weeks of trying to set a meeting date and time with his staff,
community members have concluded that he has gone into hiding to avoid being accountable
to the people in his district.

Quote: "Like so many career politicians, Congressman Davis has broken his promise.
 His staff says they
are worried he will be criticized in public, but if he is afraid of his constituents
- why did he run for office
in the first place?  How does he expect to represent the 13 residents?" questioned
community member Mike Doyle. "Well if he is in hiding, we are going to send out 
a search team to see if we can find him."
