Take a look at this group. They're organizing Town Halls to get the message out to Congress they oppose repealing the Affordable Care Act. If your congress person has opted out of a Town Hall meeting while Congress is on vacation, you are encouraged to organize one yourself in your community and invite your Congress Person to attend. Some groups are doing that and using a life size cardboard figure of their missing Congress person. They're making pictures and will be posting on social media.

The event is apparently to be paid out of his campaign funds. First President I've known to continue campaigning once the campaign is over.
These events may be even more volatile now than they were before the election.
