(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – As Congress makes critical decisions on unemployment benefit extensions, financial reform, and cap-and-trade you can sound off to one person casting their vote.

Rep. Baron Hill (D-Seymour)

Indiana Ninth District Congressman Baron Hill (D-Seymour) has invited constituents to participate in a tele-town hall.  The question and answer session will take place over the phone next Monday, July 26 from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.

The method of speaking directly with constituents has become increasingly popular among members of congress since large, raucous crowds began attending such in-person meetings leading up to the vote on health care reform.

In order to participate, residents must complete an online form located at http://indiana09townhall.com or at http://baronhill.house.gov.

People without access to a computer or who have questions can call Hill’s Washington office at (202) 225-5315.

Some of the people participating will be able to ask Hill questions during the tele-conference. 

According to the Louisville Courier-Journal, 5,100 AARP members in the Ninth District participated in a similar telephone conference last year with 14 getting to ask the congressman a question.
