Democracy in Action
This Saturday in Platteville is Grant County's turn for Senator Russ Feingold's listening session. Here's the info:
FEINGOLD HOLDS LISTENING SESSION IN
GRANT COUNTY ON JULY 15
U.S. Senator Russ Feingold will hold a listening session in Grant County on Saturday, July 15. Senator Feingold has pledged to hold listening sessions in all of Wisconsin’s 72 counties each year of his six-year term and this will be the Senator’s 14th year of holding listening sessions. This session will mark the 36th listening session of 2006, and the 972nd since 1993. Feingold will hold his 1,000th listening session at the end of 2006. If constituents need special accommodations at the listening sessions they should contact Senator Feingold’s Middleton office at 608-828-1200.
His Grant County listening session will be held at 9:15 a.m. in the City Council Chamber at the Platteville City Hall, 75 North Bonson Street, Platteville. The meeting will last up to an hour.
“I again look forward to meeting with constituents in Grant County,” Senator Feingold said. “These listening sessions are an excellent opportunity for me to hear directly from constituents about any issues or concerns they may have, and I appreciate the effort people make to attend these meetings and let their voice be heard. Their ideas and advice continue to enable me to serve the people of Wisconsin to the best of my ability.”
This is your chance to tell your Senator what you think is important. He doesn't spend a lot of time giving a speech. Generally what happens is he'll give some opening remarks, and then will go through the questions you have, calling on each person individually. Upon entering, you can grab a comment card and sign your name and put your question down on paper. Senator Feingold then goes through the cards and you get your own one-on-one opportunity. It is definitely not a controlled event. He will talk with you about what you want to talk about. Not what he wants you to talk about, like so many others do.
You see, Senator Feingold still believes in democracy. Of the people; by the people; and for the people!
