iTownHall Meetings

Using technology to connect with Idahoans helps me keep in touch even when the Senate is in session.  In November 2007, I started hosting iTownHall meetings using a telephone/Internet program.  This allows me to spend an hour or so speaking with Idahoans, who also have the opportunity to ask me questions about issues that they are concerned about.  While the program uses the Internet, it is not necessary for participants to have a computer.  All that is needed to participate is a telephone and an hour of your time.

The quarterly meetings will be held throughout the year, generally every three months, depending on the Senate schedule.  The calls will also likely be on a Wednesday, starting at 7 p.m. Mountain/6 p.m. Pacific.  The schedule for the upcoming Congress has not yet been released, so the dates for 2009 have not been determined.  They will likely be in February, May, July and September.

Calls are placed starting about 10 minutes before the scheduled start time of the meeting, and will continue for about 20 minutes until all the calls are made. That means that you may end up joining the meeting a little later than the scheduled start time.

Sign Up For iTownHall Meeting

Signing up for the iTownHall meeting is easy.  All you need to do is send an e-mail to iTownHall Info, with Future Meetings in the subject line.  Please include your name, a telephone number for evening hours (a landline is better than a cell), and address in the body of the e-mail. That's all the information that is needed.  You will be added to the call list for that evening.  All that is needed to participate is a telephone; you do not need computer access or any special equipment or software.

The iTownHall meetings are generally held in the evening to avoid conflicts with the Senate schedule.  Please do not provide multiple phone numbers.  Additionally, if you do NOT wish to be called for any iTownHall meeting, please send your request to the same e-mail, indicating that you would like your telephone number to be removed from any future meetings.  Although the Do Not Call list does not apply to these types of calls, we also try to honor the wishes of those who put their telephone numbers on the Do Not Call list by removing those numbers from our database.  We will do our best to honor both types of requests.

Please click here to listen to the meeting held on September 24, 2008.  The program runs 48 minutes, and contains questions from Idahoans about the financial crisis proposal.  Or you can use the table below to listen to my answer to a specific question/issue; click on the phrase to listen to my remarks on that subject.
