Both of them.
He will tell us the truth about the phone calls that he has received from his constituents, on the subject of his vote on health care reform legislation.
And then he will tell us the truth, about why he would not tell us the truth heretofore;
which is the more important of the two truths, by far.
He will tell us why he did not acknowledge a legitimate question
from a constituent stakeholder, by responding candidly,
forthrightly, and honestly.
As is his ineluctable obligation as a public servant.

Sooner or later, Representative Heinrich will tell the truths.

Another example of the rich and powerful in New Mexico seeing us as the crap to scrape off their boots.
When will they realize without our support, they are absolutely nothing?
This is such a ridiculous complaint. Congressman Heinrich has already done a great deal for his district and the entire state in the short time he's been in office and this is just a pathetic attempt to fault him for anything you can think up. He's doing a great job and he'll continue to vote his conscience and represent the interest of all New Mexicans. Your post makes it sound like the calls that his office gets are a representative sample of what his constituents want - like the calls are votes in an election or something. Any person with half a brain knows that's not true, but you keep going and demanding those numbers that tell you nothing about what the vast majority of New Mexicans want. I'm sure the Congressman will keep doing the people's work, no matter what.
If the numbers were inconsequential, why hide them?
You may think truth telling is a ridiculous expectation of a public servant. This would explain why you vote for people without the character and courage to tell the truth.
You will probably argue that his town hall meeting in Belen, where he pretended to be taking questions, and instead was having them filtered to avoid the tough ones, is OK as well.
It isn't.
