I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone in Garland, Hot Springs, Clark, Grant, Dallas, Cleveland, Pike, Howard and Nevada Counties who joined us via phone last night for our tele-town hall.

We had some great questions and comments about our nation’s economic crisis; how the government can create jobs; helping veterans return to civilian life; protecting Medicare and Social Security; securing our borders; and federal bailouts.

Tele-town halls are a great way to stay in touch with the people of Arkansas during the days we are in session here in Washington.  I look forward to more in the coming months and hope to hear from you when we call.
