Minnick Will Hold Telephone Town Halls on Health Care/TIME CORRECTION
By Jill Kuraitis, 8-17-09
Up to 50,000 people can join conference calls with Rep. Walt Minnick of Idaho’s First District. The first will be August 19 and the second August 31, both at 6:00 PM Pacific Time, 7:00 PM Mountain.
Minnick said because it isn’t possible to meet with people in every town or community to talk about health care, but “the telephone town hall is an easy and free way for my constituents to learn more and to tell me what they think.”
“I also hope to announce soon an event organized specifically to bring together representatives from seemingly divergent interests for a serious and substantive discussion to find Idaho’s ‘common ground’ on health care and how it is impacting our economy,” Minnick said. “I want to take back to my colleagues in Washington, D.C., a set of principles to bridge the current divides, a set of principles upon which the vast majority of Idahoans can agree.”
To join one of the telephone town halls, constituents should call one of Minnick’s offices to ask to be listed for the call. Find the numbers on Minnick’s website.
