I remember a rally where they bussed in a bunch of paid protesters. Theyve been doing this for years. Remember the "grass roots" campaigns run by the kochs to fill up the townhalls with screaming lunatics? Voter suppression, fake social media accounts, etc. So while I personally don't want to lie, I have no problem with others who do it. The reps are there to hear from the citizens, period. If there is one rep whos vote is crucial to my well-being and they're not in my state, they still need to know how what theyr'e doing affects people.
