Three Town Hall Meetings for Joe Walsh This Weekend – Palatine, Elk Grove Village & Villa Park

An email from Congressman Joe Walsh:

Dear Friends,

This past week I have been busy

  • meeting with constituents,
  • touring small businesses and
  • speaking with folks

across the District, all in an effort to better understand the impact recent events in Washington are having on families and businesses here in Illinois.

Every day, I am constantly encouraged by what I see and hear; we all want to hand on to our children and grandchildren an America where they’re able to succeed and follow their dreams.

However, there is a good deal of concern that this American Dream is slipping away.  I want to re-invigorate America and, with your help, I know it can be done.

With that in mind, I would like to invite you to join me as I hold three Town Hall meetings this weekend.  While I am very outspoken, I believe the most important part of my job is knowing what people here think.

I hope you can join me for one of these events.  But, if I don’t have the opportunity to see you over the weekend, I look forward to visiting with you soon.

Sincerely,

Joe Walsh, Congressman (IL-8)

The political side of Congressman Joe Walsh’s operation announces a Town Hall Meeting in Elgin on Saturday afternoon. Here’s the message:

In the wake of

  • President Obama’s decision to reject the Keystone Pipeline (and tens of thousands of jobs along with it),
  • the Administration’s new regulations forcing religious institutions to provide insurance benefits that conflict with their moral teachings and
  • the testimony of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernake to Congress that current spending levels are “clearly unsustainable,”

I will be hosting a Town Hall meeting tomorrow to listen to your thoughts.

Where Joe Walsh's Elgin Town Hall Meeting will be held.

While I am very outspoken, I believe the most important part of my job is knowing what people here think. I hope you will join me for a frank and candid discussion about the issues facing our great nation.

Walsh Wraps Up Week, Announces Wauconda “Joe with Joe”

January 27, 2012 By: Cal Skinner Category: Joe Walsh, Joe with Joe, Town Hall Meeting

A press release from Congressman Joe Walsh:

Walsh’s Weekly Wrap-Up

Dear Friend,

Please join me from 8:00 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. tomorrow (Saturday, January 28th) for a Cup of Joe with Joe in Wauconda.

This event is open to anyone and everyone so come out and let me know what’s on your mind!

More information on tomorrow’s event can be found below.

On Tuesday, President Obama delivered the State of the Union Address to a joint session of Congress. The President’s speech did not give much “hope” to restoring economic security and creating American jobs. We heard the same tired message from the President: more spending, higher taxes, and over regulation. Big government does not and has not worked. Since Obama has taken office, he has kept American families in a downward spiral with no hope of recovery. We need to get the government out of the way so small businesses can create the jobs we need to get this country back on track.

Hope to see you in Wauconda tomorrow!

I work for you,

Saturday Schaumburg Town Hall Meeting Set by Walsh

January 27, 2012 By: Cal Skinner Category: Joe Walsh, Town Hall Meeting

Woodstock VFW Town Hall Meeting.

An email from Congressman Joe Walsh:

Dear Friends,

The President’s State of the Union did not give much “hope” to restoring economic security and creating American jobs. Big government does not and has not worked.

Our country needs real solutions to get America back to work. Washinton needs to remove the onslaught of regulations we put on small businesses and promote a friendly small business climate. We need bold proposals from fair minded people like you.

I will be hosting a town hall meeting this Saturday in Schaumburg. I hope you will join me for a frank and candid discussion about the issues facing our great nation.

Saturday, January 28th
Schaumburg Public Library
