Telephone Town Hall Meeting, Today at 6 PM!
w/ US Senator Johnny Isakson
US Senator Johnny Isakson is holding a town hall meeting via telephone TODAY, July 11, 2017, at 6:00 PM. With Senate Republicans back from the July 4th recess, NOW is the time to make your voice heard!
You must sign up in advance for the telephone townhall by visiting Senator Isakson's website here.
You should receive a call at the number you have provided asking you to participate. (You will NOT be required to dial in.) You may opt-in at that time by remaining on your phone line, and you will be given instructions about how to ask a question.
Even if your question is not chosen, it is still important to submit questions at the town hall. Questions let Senator Isakson know what Georgians care about, like Medicaid cuts putting Home and Community Based Services at risk for Georgians with disabilities.
If you are unable to participate via telephone, you can still listen to the call and ask questions online via this link, https://vekeo.com/senatorisakson.
