WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) will hold a LIVE discussion for residents of the Third Congressional District on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. CST. Participants will have the opportunity to provide feedback and ask questions on current legislation, including the economy and health care reform, among other topics.
The telephone town hall meeting allows Rep. Kind to reach thousands of Third Congressional District constituents at once. The meetings provide an opportunity for constituents to hear from Rep. Kind on the issues affecting them and communicate their thoughts and ideas directly back to him from their own home.
Teleconferencing technology allows Rep. Kind to set up a large-scale conference call involving potentially thousands of Third Congressional District constituents. At the start of the call on Wednesday (approximately 7:00 p.m. CST), a random selection of households in the 3rd CD will receive a call from Rep. Kind, inviting them to participate in the telephone town hall. Constituents will then have the option of staying on the line to hear a few comments by Rep. Kind followed by the opportunity to participate in a question and answer session.
Interested constituents may also dial-into the telephone town hall themselves by calling (toll-free) 877-269-7289 and using the code 15311.
Comments
Here is the question I am prepared to ask...
Congressman Kind, in January you called for fiscal responsibility in Washington but then in February you voted to increase the nation's debt ceiling to Fourteen Trillion Dollars. In addition to that you voted in favor of hundreds of billions of dollars of spending for failed stimulus and bailout programs and you hold a grade of "F" from the non-partisan National Taxpayer's Union. With these facts in mind why should voters believe that you are capable of being a good steward of our tax dollars?
