Charles DjouŽ barely showed up at his Neighborhood Board meetings, and now he's TIED for Congress

Can you even imagine?

When he was on the City Council, Charles Djou almost never showed up for neighborhood board meetings, though all others do. The mayor doesn't attend, but he sends a representative. All the other City Councilmen appear personally almost all the time, but definitely send someone if not.

Prince Charles, on the other hand, when asked why he almost never appeared, said that he was spending time with his family. Like nobody else has a family, and he's so special!

Everybody else makes time to face the community and hear questions and concerns. It's a moderated and very controlled environment. He wouldn't show up for those, when he's a ten minute drive away. Can you imagine how little he will care for his constituents when he's 5000 miles away?

This is not my opinion, but verifiable fact. He's unique among the councilmen in this. He should absolutely not be given access to real power if he can't accept his responsibility to report to the people.
