Rep. Smith uses new technology to connect with
constituents
Community call scheduled Feb. 20, 7-8 p.m.
Rep. Norma Smith will take
advantage of new technology to bring 10th District citizens together for
a community call Wednesday, Feb. 20, from 7:00-8:00 p.m. Residents
can participate in the call via a toll-free number: 1-866-447-5149, enter PIN 13450.
"Families are busy with
school activities, work, family time and, hopefully, a little
relaxation, so this new technology is something I think is exciting and
will be convenient," said Smith, R-Clinton. "Folks can participate on the call
while lounging in a favorite chair and stay on the call as long as they
want. It's interactive and a great way for constituents to connect with me
and for me to listen to their ideas and solutions on the issues facing
our district and state."
Smith encourages everyone
to call in and participate in the two-way conversation. With the 2008
legislative session ending March 13, Smith said she hopes participants
on the call will offer her feedback on the crucial proposals before the
Legislature and local issues that impact quality of life.
"I invite everyone in the
Tenth District to join me on the call and ask questions or tell me what
they think about the ferry issue, health care, the environment, or on
any other concern on the minds of families in our communities," said
Smith.
Community calls work much like a call-in radio show. The interactive telephone system
allows residents to listen live, ask questions and take part in poll
questions. Residents have complete control over how they choose to
participate and how long they want to stay connected.
