"Moderate" Mike Castle (R-DE) Cancels August Town Hall Meetings

This August recess Mike Castle is breaking with tradition and not holding ANY public meetings.  It is sad but (given his pro-Bush voting record) not surprising.  

I spoke a staffer in Castle's Dover Delaware office who said that  the Congressman might hold one of a new style "robo call town meetings" in which lucky constituents who get called can "opt in" to take part in a conference call.

While Mike Castle has recently been trying to pass off these PR events as town hall meetings -  no "actual" town hall meetings are being held.  The fact that Mike Castle that refuses to hold ANY public meetings has raised a couple questions in my mind that maybe the collective kosackian wisdom can help me with.  

1. Isn't reporting back to his/her  constituents part of a Congressman's job?    

2. Is this unique to Delaware?  Are your so-called "moderate" Republican Reps heading for the hills this August?  

I don't think that it unreasonable to think that Delaware's lone Representative in Congress should be able to talk about what is happening in Washington with the people he claims to represent.  

Is it me?
