Congressman Gerry Connolly To Hold Telephone Town Hall Meeting

Congressman Gerry Connolly will hold his ninth Telephone Town Hall Meeting for constituents of the 11^th Congressional District of Virginia on Thursday, August 4, beginning at 8:00 p.m.

Thousands of residents of Fairfax County, Prince William County and Fairfax City will receive calls as the one-hour meeting is about to begin inviting them to stay on the line if they want to participate. Those wanting to participate and guarantee that they are called may sign up on Congressman Connolly’s website at http://connolly.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=102&sectiontree=6,102 before 11:00 a.m. on Thursday.

Although participants may ask questions on any topic, Connolly said he expects most of the discussion will focus on congressional action on raising the debt ceiling and the impact on the economies of the nation and Virginia.

Constituents can participate from the comfort of their homes, and they hang up when ready to leave the discussion. Many participants are able to ask questions directly to Connolly. 

At the end of the hour-long meeting, those who were unable to ask a question and every other participant on the call are invited to leave a voice mail message with their question.  Connolly responds to every question.

Thursday evening’s telephone town hall meeting is open only to residents of Virginia’s 11^th Congressional District who live in Fairfax County, Prince William County, and the City of Fairfax.
