Chat With Congressman Woodall By Telephone Tuesday

Seventh District U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall (R-Georgia) is inviting constituents to join him in a Telephone Town Hall Meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday (March 22) to hear about budgets and spending and other matters before Congress.

“Given everything that is happening in Congress right now, it would be useful for us to come together again for a conversation,” Woodall said in an announcement. “I definitely need to hear your thoughts and concerns so that I can best represent you, and you might like to hear some more details about what has happened and what is coming in Washington, D.C.” To chat with the congressman, call toll free 1-888-324-7184 and enter 8472391 as the participant pass code.

“We're voting on what they call Continuing Resolutions that fund what they call discretionary spending from now until September. We will vote on what they call the debt ceiling, which is a measure of how much previous presidents and congresses have run up America's credit card. We will also vote on what they call appropriations bills, which fund the discretionary spending accounts from October of this year until September of 2012. We're voting on what they call the budget resolution, which lays out our plan for spending over the next 10 years and is the first bill that can deal with so-called entitlement programs, he said. “Clear? Confused? A little of both? You're not alone.”

“The future of our economy and the jobs available in it are on the line,” Woodall said. “Please join me for this upcoming telephone town hall meeting so that we can work through these issues together. “ 

Congressman Woodall’s Seventh District includes most of Gwinnett County including Duluth. He is from Lawrenceville.
