Obama Town Hall at CoD

Looking for something to do this Tuesday? Why not head out to the College of DuPage, where Sen. Barack Obama will be holding a town hall meeting. CoD promotes it as “[a]n open discussion with Senator Obama will focus on his work in the U.S. Senate. This event is open to the public and no tickets are needed. This is an opportunity to ask questions of the senator.”

Over at his own site, Sen. Obama has this to say about the event:

Too often, politicians end up representing Washington to their constituents rather than representing their constituents in Washington,” said Obama. “These town hall meetings give me the opportunity to hear directly from people in Illinois about the issues affecting their lives and how I can help. It also gives me a chance to talk with them about the issues I’ve been working on in the Senate, like reducing our dangerous dependence on foreign oil by increasing ethanol production, making sure Illinois veterans get the disability pay and health care they’ve earned, or the transportation bill I helped write that brought 33 percent more federal funding for infrastructure to Illinois.

The meeting will be at 10:30 a.m., and no tickets are required. If you have the time, be sure to stop by and make sure our library concerns are well-represented!
