UPDATE 2/15/2017: Congressman Goodlatte now offers "Telephone Town Hall" meetings to the general public. However, telephone town halls are not enough. We deserve and maintain our request for a public in-person town hall with the Congressman. To sign up for a telephone town hall, visit his webpage (https://goodlatte.house.gov/telephone-town-hall/).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We ask Congressman Bob Goodlatte and his staff to organize a public town hall meeting. We ask that Congressman Goodlatte commit to planning and attending this meeting to hear from his constituents. Congressman Goodlatte's staff often hold "open door" meetings that the Congressman does not attend. We are asking for a true public town hall meeting with Congressman Goodlatte to hear directly from our representative.

The town hall meeting should occur on or before April 8, 2017, in order for him to get timely feedback from the people he represents.

The town hall meeting should occur in Roanoke, Lynchburg, or Harrisonburg in an effort to be convenient to the majority of his constituents.

The town hall should occur after 5pm on a weekday or on a weekend so that the majority of his working constituents will be able to attend.

In addition to signing this petition, please call Congressman Goodlatte and/or send him a letter to express our request. You can follow this basic format when you call or write:

"My name is [name], and I am a constituent from [city, zip code]. I would like to urge Congressman Goodlatte to organize and attend a public town hall meeting by April 8th. The people he represents would value the opportunity to voice our concerns and hear from our representative. Thank you."
