I respect it.
We asked for the politicians to meet with their constituents and not send an aide or other staffer. He did.
We ask that they listen to the concerns of their constituents. He did.
We ask that the politicians are honest about what they are going to do about an issue while in office. He was.
His constituents can do with that what they may.

"The blind soldier fought for me in this war. The least I can do now is fight for him. I have eyes. He hasn’t. I have a voice on the radio, he hasn’t. I was born a white man. And until a colored man is a full citizen, like me, I haven’t the leisure to enjoy the freedom that colored man risked his life to maintain for me. I don’t own what I have until he owns an equal share of it. Until somebody beats me and blinds me, I am in his debt."- Orson Welles August 11, 1946
