Joe's staff cuts and runs

Shawn Ciavattone, Knollenberg’s District Field Director made a brief appearance and accepted a letter inviting Knollenberg to a town hall meeting to be held on August 28, 2007 at a yet to be determined location. Ciavattone took the letter and then walked away from the citizens that had gathered to invite Knollenberg. Ciavattone would not answer whether Knollenberg would attend the townhall meeting or whether Knollenberg was in the district to meet with the group. “We have tried until we are blue in the face to get Congressman Knollenberg to discuss his position on the Iraq war, to no avail. He’s as out of touch as President Bush on the issue of the war. Today was just another example of how little he cares that at least 79% of the voters in his district don’t agree with Knollenberg’s position on the war. “ Fealk said.
