When Congress is in session, I use telephone town hall meetings as another way to hear from Idahoans and update them on legislation and other important issues. The hour-long phone calls are typically held mid-week in the evening. Those wanting to take part in future calls should fill out the Tele-Townhall sign up form. Requests must be made at least 24 hours prior to a scheduled meeting to be included in that call.
Occasionally Idahoans tell me they are on the National Do Not Call Registry and want to be removed from my call list. While these calls are not a violation of the Do Not Call law, I want to honor those requests. The easiest way to do so is by completing the Tele-Townhall unsubscribe form.
My most recent telephone town hall was held on September 29, 2010. To listen to the entire call, click here. To listen by topic, click the titles below.
