Town Hall Meetings with Georgia Representatives

(The following information was obtained from the Atlanta Journal and Constitution regarding Georgia Representatives holding meetings with their constituents)

District 2: Sanford Bishop (D-Columbus)
Aug. 19, 8:30 a.m. at National Infantry Museum in Columbus.
Aug. 19, 4 p.m. at Fort Valley State University, Fort Valley.
Aug. 20, 10 a.m. at Kirbo Regional Center in Bainbridge.
Aug. 20, 4 p.m. at Albany State University, Albany.

District 4: Hank Johnson (D-Decatur)
Monday, 7 p.m. at Georgia Perimeter College (Cole Auditorium), 555 North Indian Creek Dr., Clarkston.

District 7: John Linder (R-Duluth)
Thursday, 10 a.m. at Piedmont Regional Library, 189 Bell View St., Winder.
Thursday, 5 p.m. at Suwanee Library, 361 Main St., Suwanee.
Aug. 19, 10 a.m. at Monroe- Walton Library, 217 West Spring St., Monroe.
Aug. 19, 1 p.m. at Covington Library, 7116 Floyd Road, Covington.

District 10: Paul Broun (R-Athens)
Monday, 6 p.m. at Columbia Co. Board of Education, Evans.
Tuesday, 6 p.m. at North Georgia Technical College, Clarksville.

District 13: David Scott (D-Atlanta) -- Aug. 15, 10 a.m. at Mundy’s Mill High School, 9652 Fayetteville Road, Jonesboro.

Of the next two, hopefully Jack will have at least one more before the end of the month. If not, nobody can argue that he has not been doing his job. Also, don’t be misled by “meetings being planned” for Rep. Barrow. He was serving on the House committee which approved HR 3200, but voted against it and came to Georgia several times while this was being discussed (and afterwards) to get the People’s feedback.
District 1: Jack Kingston (R-Savannah) -- Has held nine meetings to date. No more planned.
District 12: John Barrow (D-Savannah) -- Staff says meetings being planned, but no dates yet.

As for these four, the jury is still out. We will see how dedicated some of these are in talking to their constituents.
District 3: Lynn Westmoreland (R-Grantville) -- Staff says meetings being planned, but no dates yet.
District 8: Jim Marshall (D-Macon) -- Staff says meetings being planned, but no dates yet.
District 9: Nathan Deal (R-Gainesville) -- Staff says meetings being planned, but no dates yet.
District 11: Phil Gingrey (R-Marietta) -- Staff says meetings being planned, but no dates yet.

For these two, pure arrogance and they will feel the pain in the next election.
District 5: John Lewis (D-Atlanta) -- Has held one meeting. No more planned.
District 6: Tom Price (R-Roswell) -- Has held one meeting. No more planned.

Oh, one other item:

If you can find where our two “illustrious” Georgian Senators, Chambliss and Isakson, are having town-hall type meetings with someone else (like We, the People) as opposed to paid donators to the Republican National Committee, please let me know by my email address wpconan1@windstream.net, or on Facebook (William P. Conant). I’ve made more phone calls, faxes and emails to their different offices and responses have been about their stand on health care reform but nothing addressing meeting with their constituents (their bosses) in Georgia. Again, arrogance and non-accessibility. We, the People in Georgia need a viable candidate to run against J. Isakson as a Republican next year.
