Attend a Town Hall!
Congress is in recess now for the month of August. Two members of Oregon's Congressional delegation, Senator Merkley and Rep. DeFazio, have announced town halls on their websites, and one, Rep. Walden, invites registration for telephone town halls. The schedule announced below is current as of August 3. You might check the links below for any updates.
Town halls offer the best opportunity for voters to address their legislators publicly and in person. They are your best chance to express your opinions directly to the legislator.
SENATOR JEFF MERKLEY
Sen. Merkley says he “will update constituents on his work in Washington, DC and answer their questions and invite their suggestions about how to tackle the challenges facing Oregon and America.” http://www.merkley.senate.gov/events/town-halls
