Update: The Republican Party of Arkansas (RPA) has announced its third stop on the “Listening to Arkansas” Tour which will stop in Russellville at 10:00 a.m on Wednesday, August 26 at the Pope County Courthouse Quorum Court Room (100 West Main Street). ---------------
Republican Party of Arkansas (RPA): A “Listening to Arkansas” Tour in which state party chairman Doyle Webb, state legislators, and local medical personnel will host health care town hall panels in order to bring ideas and action together for real health care reform for the everyday Arkansan.
The first of several town hall meetings will take place this Saturday, August 22 at 125 N. Market Street in Benton, Arkansas at 1:00 p.m. The forum will be open to both the public and press, and will include RPA State Chairman Doyle Webb, State Representative Ann Clemmer, State Representative Ed Garner, and State Representative Dan Greenberg. Each panelist will have five to seven minutes for opening remarks, and will then go on to take questions and comments from the audience.
“It is so vital that we have an open discussion with voters across the state about health care reform. We want and need to allow people to voice their concerns and opinions in an open arena while making public our options,” said Chairman Webb. “There are some great ideas out there that need to be considered, but the current Obama-Pelosi-Reed health care experiment just won’t cut it.”
The second stop on the “Listening to Arkansas” Tour will be Monday, August 24 at 2405 E Highland Dr. in Jonesboro, Arkansas on Monday, August 24 from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
RPA Chairman Doyle Webb, U.S. Congressional Candidate Rick Crawford, and other panelists will be on hand to speak, discuss health care legislation options, and take questions and comments from the audience.
“The August recess is meant to be utilized by current Congressmen and women to hold public meetings and hear from their constituents about proposed health care reform,” said Crawford. “Since we have not had a public forum in the 1st District, I am looking forward our own town hall meeting where the voters’ voices and concerns can be heard. I also look forward to share with those in attendance my thoughts on how we can have true health care reform while upholding our Constitution and provisions for critical issues such as this.”
