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."

We are ticking up toward a hundred names and I really need everyone to grab a neighbor or a family member to get us over this hump today. I keep thinking about how easy it is for an office to ignore a phone call but they definitely see these lists growing and it is driving me crazy that we keep getting directed to these remote telephone sessions instead of actual face to face time.

The telephone town hall is just not adequate representation of your constituency. I received no notice of the call until it was happening which showed Rep. Goodlatte's lack of regard for the input of 6th district voters. In my view, it was a weak attempt to appear "available".
Simply appalling that Mr. Goodlatte has not attended a town hall meeting with his constituents since August of 2013. He should have regularly scheduled town hall meetings attended by him in Roanoke, Lynchburg, Harrisonburg.
I've asked for access to public meetings with Goodlatte or his representatives, not held on Tues/Thurs during the day (my area's only times) and have received NO RESPONSE. Not even a standard email note acknowledging receipt on my query/mail.
Mr. Goodlatte It is time for you to attend your scheduled meetings. You represent EVERYONE in your district, not just those who agree/vote with you. Your staff also need you to show up, it isn't their job to "be you"!
I would like to urge Congressman Goodlatte to organize and attend a public town hall meeting by April 8th, preferably in Harrisonburg. The people he represents would value the opportunity to voice our concerns and hear from our representative. Thank you."
what's your problem with protecting Virginia's environment and wildlife protections ? You got some explaining to do.
It is amazing to me that you would condone the dumping of coal mining tailings into our Virginia waterways. Stupid. I will be at your Community appearance--wherever that may be. You are obviously a crook and a moron!

I have voted for Congressman Goodlatte in the past, but will not in the future until he begins to listen to, meet with, and respect the opinions of ALL in his district, the way he does the top donors from Comcast et al.
