Town Halls to Watch: August 21-23

While the New York Times tried to downplay the role of local town halls this August, the truth is that there are plenty of opportunities to contact your Member of Congress during recess. In fact, FAIR counts a total of 708 events happening across the country between August 1 — September 30, 2013.The last two weeks in August are particularly busy for town hall events since many communities start back to school and end the summer vacation season.
