A message from Congressman Mike Ross regarding town hall meetings


A message from Congressman Mike Ross.
"As Congress embarks on its annual August District Work Period, I wanted to share some news with you. Over the next few weeks, I will be hosting 35 town hall meetings throughout the 29 counties that make up Arkansas’s Fourth Congressional District. Each and every town hall is open to the public and you are invited to stop by, share your concerns and ask your questions about the significant issues facing you, your family and our nation today.So far this year, I have already hosted 34 town hall meetings and 12 telephone town halls for those who could not attend town halls in person. By year’s end, I will have hosted more than 80 town hall events - each with the ultimate goal of listening to you.
Town hall meetings represent American democracy at its best and I am proud to be one of the few members of Congress who still carry on this important tradition. All too often, members of Congress get to Washington and forget who sent them there. That is why I never moved to Washington and why after the last vote each week I am on the very next flight back home to Arkansas to listen to you.
To receive news of these upcoming town hall events, you can sign up to receive e-mail alerts at http://ross.house.gov and by clicking on the E-News Signup icons. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my Washington office at 1-800-223-2220."There will be at least one town hall meeting in every county of our congressional district. On Wednesday, August 24, at 1 p.m., Ross will hold a Hot Springs town hall meeting at the Martin Eisele Auditorium, 101 College Drive on the campus of National Park Community College.
