Congressional recess time is approaching. The recess is expected to occur between February 18 and February 26. During this time members of Congress, Representatives and Senators, typically return home to hear from their constituents. Usually this takes the form of a Town Hall meeting. It is our time to let our voices be heard, let our wishes be known and to demand that our representatives actually represent us.

Often Republicans attempt to limit attendance by announcing these events on short notice and only to select constituents, so look for information on upcoming events with our Representatives and Senator. And, if you learn of any constituent meetings that our representatives are trying to sneak in, please let WCD know.
Here’s to a successful Recess Campaign!
