WASHINGTON -- U.S. Congressman Bart Stupak (D-Menominee) will hold his first-ever telephone town hall meeting at 6:30 p.m. EDT / 5:30 p.m. CDT on Thursday, Apr. 2, 2009. The telephone town hall will allow residents of the First Congressional District to ask Stupak questions on current national issues before Congress.

"I am excited about the chance to utilize this new technology to reach constituents across the vast First Congressional District," Stupak said. "I want to use this opportunity to hear from you and answer the questions on your mind. The call will last one hour and in that time I will answer as many questions as I can."

Constituents in the First District can join the telephone town hall by calling toll free 877-229-8493 at 6:30 p.m. Eastern / 5:30 p.m. Central on Thursday, Apr. 2. Participants will then be required to enter "14683" as the five-digit access code to join the call.
