Rep. Virginia Foxx said she doesn't host town halls because it's "just an opportunity for people to yell at their member of congress " Experts say it's difficult to get a one -on- one meeting with a member of Congress .

Foxx represents North Carolina's 5th Congressional District , which has a population of nearly 750,000 people.

U.S. Army veteran Jay Carey , a Democrat , was escorted out of a town hall event hosted by Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-N.C.) last week after he shouted at Edwards : “Do your job!” and “I’m a veteran, and you don’t give a fuck about me” Barber advised people to “reach out in whatever ways you can” such as calls, e-mails and visits to local district offices.
