According to the event page on Carpe Diem Houston, the #ResistanceRecess and MoveOn.org-sponsored group’s requests for some face time with their Senator have repeatedly been denied or ignored by Cruz’s office, but they firmly believe that it is not too much to ask from the person “we hired to represent us.”
“We have called, we have written, we have faxed, we have emailed, we have reached out via social media, we have met with staffers in person, all with this simple request,” a description of the event sponsored by MoveOn.org reads. “Why won’t our U.S. Senator meet face-to-face with us and hear our voices?”
