Are your representatives going to the inauguration?

[sonrisa]

My Congressman isn't (Apparently, he was the third to say he wouldn't). Senator Harris is. Feinstein hasn't committed either way. I'm thinking of calling both offices and urging them to boycott. (ETA:I just sent a message to Harris.)

[redheadbaker]

I'm assuming Fucking Toomey is attending.

Can't find anything online on whether Casey is going or not, or any of the Congress people.

[WOT?*]

The only Washingtonian that I know of who has stated she will be sitting out the inauguration is Pramila Jamayapal.
Honestly, if they attend, I get it. But I don't want to see them standing and cheering once. Sit in stone cold silence, just as the Rs do during anything Obama.

[AHappierHour]

No, I saw on FB that she is not.

[Jalapeñomel]

One of ours is marching on the 21st.

[killercupcake]

Is there a running list? I'm not sure if mine is attending.

Yes as is Kamala Harris

This but my rep is not.

[pinkdutchtulips]

Nope DeSauliner isn't going.

His district is one of those blue/purple/red districts as you move farther east from SF/Oakland/Berkeley. I'm sure some constituents won't be happy - oh well #sorry not sorry.

I found a list for CA only. Most of the bay area isn't going. (Nancy Pelosi, Jackie Speier and Anna Eshoo are going)

I was glad to see that. And annoyed at Speier and Pelosi. You'd think with her history, Speier wouldn't go near an incoherent, conspiracy minded megalomaniac.

Ugh. Mine is attending, but plans to go to the march as well.

[PatBenatar]

I don't see them on that list so I assume so. Chuck Schumer is one of my senators so I think he probably feels obligated. I think it's a tough spot to be in for any rep

[tessalb]

Mine are. I'm disappointed and will call today to urge them to not attend or sit silently. I don't want to see them clapping for him. I suspect they won't (hooray for an all-female, Democratic delegation), and I won't see it because I won't be watching.

[muffin0]

I'm in Florida, I assume they will be attending.

[rex]

one of my reps (katherine clark) is boycotting, but she's the only rep or senator from my state who is.

[darnkatz]

Marcia Fudge is boycotting, but she sadly isn't my rep, just one from my state.

I love Clark; I'm so glad I live in her district.
I assume Warren is going so she can stare daggers at him the whole time.

[sweetcheeks]

Mine is not. Instead, she's attending an "Interfaith Prayer Vigil" being held in Trenton that day. This is from her FB page: “I am very concerned with this administration coming in. When this inauguration is taking place, we will pray for our country and the most vulnerable people, and we will pledge to stand together against evil wherever we see it, even if it comes out of the White House.”

[al320]

Mine arent on the list. But i kind of cant decide if id expect Booker to boycott or not. Menendez i cant see boycotting My rep is brand new, so who knows about him (hes Dem, but was one of the 4 dems that voted with the Rs on that voted bill that i cant remember the name of).

[mbcdefg]

My Republican Congressman is attending. 

I don't know about Senators Booker and Menendez. 

[2curlydogs]

I have Paul "Spineless Fuck" Ryan and Ron "I love Tillerson" Johnson.  So, yeah. What do you think.

I'm sort of surprised Gwen Moore hasn't. This seems up her alley.

[One Girl In All The World]

I assume so? I haven't seen anything about MD senators/reps not going.

[penguingrrl]

My representative, Chris Smith, is a deplorable, so he'll be going and happy.

I'm calling Booker and Menendez to urge them not to go and to honor the wishes of their contituents.

whoa ! Jackie's going Things didn't end too well for the first time he was around a megalomaniac like character - she still has shrapnel in her from that event (a US Congressionsl delegation went to Jim Jones' compound in South America ?!? and as they left they were ambushed- a Congressman from CA died and Sprite was wounded)

[eclaires]

I'm sure they are. They are all Rs.

[ringstrue]

I guess so. They aren't on the list. I think Schumer "has to" because he's on that committee. Maybe I can ask Gillibrand not to.

[taratru]

I'm a little surprised to not see Jared Polis skipping it.

I will call too, but can you let me know how they respond when you call?
