Rep. David Obey (D-Wisconsin) to hold telephone health care meeting
Rep. David Obey ^ | August 28, 2009 | From The Deer Stand

From the good congressman's website:

I will be will fielding questions on healthcare reform during a District-wide Telephone Forum on Monday, August 31st. This follows an earlier healthcare discussion that I participated in on August 3rd with the Coalition of Wisconsin Aging Groups in Superior.

By allowing thousands of people from all across the Seventh District to participate from their own homes, a telephone forum is the most constructive way to involve the largest number of people possible in a good discussion on this important topic.

I know folks have a lot of questions and concerns about healthcare reform. I’m looking forward to a good discussion with people from all over the District, a chance to separate fact from fiction, and an opportunity to ensure that people have accurate information – not misinformation – about what’s going on. The advantage of having this kind of conference is that, rather than being confined to one community in the district, this allows a large and absolutely random cross section of people from all 20 counties in the district to participate.

New teleconferencing technology allows me to host a large-scale conference call involving potentially thousands of my constituents. In fact, it is anticipated that more people will participate in this one event than the combined crowd at the ten discussions I have held on this subject already this year. Under this technology, at the start of the call on Monday (approximately 7:30 p.m.) a computerized program will contact 50,000 households in the 7th District on a random basis to determine their desire to participate in the forum. If they choose to stay on the line, they will be connected to the district-wide discussion.

If you would like to participate in the telephone town hall and are a resident of the 7th District you may click here to sign up. The deadline to sign up is 11:59 p.m Sunday, August 30th. You will automatically receive a phone call at the start of the town hall so you can join in.

Ten discussions not with constituents.
Aug. 3 was told as a “fundraiser” with our state “Rep.” and another person on the local news, at Shamrock Pizza in South Superior, 2 hours after they were long gone. And went and looked at 6$ mill. sewer stuff.
All 3 offices reported at the begening of the month “Watch the news for when he’ll be out”.(check previous point.)
A cap agency directer friend of mine tried to cite death threats as a no-show reason, shes kinda in love with him though.
How many constituents does each get? I thought I just saw 30.000 each somewhere............ggggooooogggglllleeee, where are u.

Obey is opposed by http://www.danielmielke.com/ and by a DA by the name of Duffy from Superior who doesn’t seem to be making much noise.
