This year, I will continue hosting a series of telephone town hall meetings to listen to you and to get your opinion on the issues before Congress. These monthly telephone town hall meetings are the result of your feedback and popular demand.
The response from these calls has been very positive and many of you from all over the district have asked me to continue holding these events. They are an easy and convenient way for all residents of Arkansas’s Fourth Congressional District to participate in your government and to share the concerns that affect you and your families. As this new Congress considers important issues on everything from the budget to energy policy to jobs, my job is to listen to those I represent and that has always been my pledge to you.
This year’s calls will be held on Monday, March 19; Tuesday, May 15; Tuesday, July 31; and, Monday, October 1. Details for these calls will be announced in the media, posted online at ross.house.gov and announced in my e-news updates. Be sure you subscribe to my e-mail news alerts so that you will be notified of each telephone town hall event. Just visit ross.house.gov and click on E-News Sign Up to stay informed.
Working like a large conference call, these telephone town hall meetings will provide you the opportunity to ask questions and voice your concerns on an array of issues. In addition to taking your questions, I will also ask a series of survey questions throughout the call to gauge your feelings toward several different issues. You will be able to respond by pressing the numbers on your telephone keypad and the survey results will be announced live throughout the call.
These live surveys provide a way for each of you to share your attitude toward the topic at hand. This is an interactive way for everyone on the call to participate all at once and share your thoughts as we discuss the important issues facing our nation today.
Some of you may receive an automated telephone call giving you the option to be automatically connected into the telephone town hall meeting. In addition, any Fourth District resident may dial into the call using the following toll free number and the included PIN code: Phone: 1-877-229-8493, PIN: 14573. Each telephone town hall will last approximately 60 minutes. The four scheduled telephone town halls this year will be held on:
Monday, March 19, 7:05 p.m. CST
Tuesday, May 15, 7 p.m. CST
Tuesday, July 31, 7 p.m. CST
Monday, October 1, 7 p.m. CST
I look forward to hearing from you and from everyone throughout Arkansas’s Fourth Congressional District. These calls will help you stay informed, have a direct line to your congressman and share your own ideas on the great challenges that face our nation. This technology allows me to bring the discussion right to you and to the thousands of working families, parents of small children and senior citizens here in Arkansas’s Fourth District, even when my duties require me to be in our nation’s capital for votes.
Sincerely,
Mike Ross
