Bipartisan Town Hall in East Aurora

Good Neighbors Getting it Done in Western New York will be conducting a Town Hall at the Aurora Senior Citizens Center on Wednesday, January 28th, at 6:30 pm. Challengers for New York’s 23rd District Congressional seat, Republican James King and Democrat Aaron Gies will meet with the public to discuss the representation of our district in Congress and alternatives for NY-23.

Since in office, our current Congressional Representative Langworthy has not given the vast majority of his constituents a chance to meet him in person. Instead, he conducts Telephone Town Halls on a roughly monthly basis. At each event, he takes 9 pre-screened calls. In a district of 734 thousand people, both Republicans and Democrats find this form of communication inadequate. To help mitigate that wrong, we have invited, and welcome Mr. Langworthy to join in the discussion directly with the people he is representing, offering any accommodation he may need to feel comfortable.

In the East Aurora face-to-face Town Hall, both Republican and Democratic challengers will have a chance to present themselves and learn about the major concerns held by the people they would be representing. Anyone is welcome to attend, but shouting and disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.

While Mr. Langworthy has accused us of being George Soros paid activists and members of Antifa on multiple occasions in the past, Good Neighbors Getting it Done in WNY is a grassroots group of local volunteers concerned for the welfare of our nation, holding representatives of all parties accountable and supporting the vulnerable. We are anti-fascist. If Antifa does actually physically exist, we have no knowledge of who they are. We use the platforms of TroubleNation, Indivisible, Facebook, and Bluesky to spread our message.

Reporter flags Trump’s ‘Hunger Games-style’ kids competition as next odd D.C. spectacle



A political correspondent flagged Trump's "Hunger Games-style" competition as auditions began for kids who will compete.

During an episode of The Daily Beast Podcast, Farrah Tomazin wrapped a conversation about Trump's D.C. beautification projects and spectacles, like the Great American State Fair, by pointing to the next big events he has planned in the nation's capital.

Even though July 4 has passed, "more America 250 spectacles are going on very soon," like an Indy car race and an event Trump is calling the "Patriot Games." It involves bringing together kids from around the country to compete against each other.

"Keep your eye out for this," Tomazin said about the Patriot Games. "It's essentially a Hunger Games-style event."

She was evoking the famous Hunger Games franchise from books and movies, where kids from a dystopian world fight to the death.

"This will not include death and destruction or the like," Tomazin said about the Patriot Games. "But it's basically getting kids from different schools to compete in the nation's capital for a made-for-TV ESPN spectacle."

According to Tomazin, "auditions" to recruit kids to compete in the Patriot Games are "going on at the moment," and the Trump-backed Freedom 250, which organized the Great American State Fair, has "called for auditions where you have to provide an audition tape."

She also compared it to America's Got Talent, the reality competition show, as kids "have to provide them with an audition tape to talk about yourself and how much you love the country, and then you'll get to go to the nation's capital and compete in some sort of Patriot Games."
