Wrap-Up: Burgess Tele-Town Hall on May 20, 2008
WASHINGTON, DC,
May 21, 2008
Last night’s tele-town hall was another success. I called 34,000 of my constituents who reside in the Northeast portion of Tarrant County and over 6,000, or 18%, of you stayed on the line to listen and share your opinions. I took 11 questions from participants, there were 150 individuals who requested to ask a question, and 141 voice messages were left. These numbers speak to your eagerness to be involved in what your federal government is doing. I am proud of that. It is always a pleasure to have candid conversations with you about the issues and topics that are most important to you and your families in North Texas. In the months to come, I will continue my work in Congress representing the citizens of Texas’ 26th District and the topics that concern you, such as: Providing Americans economic security and growth through tax relief and reform Enforcing our immigration laws and strengthening our border security to reduce illegal immigration Ensuring America’s national security and support for our Armed Service members Securing Federal funding for North Texas’ growing transportation needs Regulating out-of control spending and reforming our entitlement programs 1. When making health care decisions for you and your family, what is most important? 2. What is your plan to address rising energy costs during the coming summer months? 3. Do you believe businesses should be punished for employing workers which they know are not legal citizens of the United States? As always, to stay up-to-date on recent news from my office, please sign-up for the monthly Burgess Bulletin. If you have thoughts about pending legislation, please send me an email through “Write Your Representative”. Again, it is my pleasure to visit with you last night. I appreciate hearing from you, and I am honored to have the opportunity to represent you in the U.S. House of Representatives. Sincerely, Michael C. Burgess, M.D. |
