This Thursday, March 10, from Noon to 1:00pm (EST), U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter (CO-07) will participate in a Twitter Town Hall, with more than a dozen Members of Congress to field questions from Twitter about the budget and the “So Be It” Republican spending bill.  Everyone interested can follow the Town Hall at www.Dems.gov/TwitterTownHall and submit budget-related questions by tagging them on Twitter with #AskDems or emailing them to AskDems@mail.house.gov.

“Whether it's at the grocery store, the dog park or on the phone, I've heard from many of the hardworking people in the 7th CD about their concerns that the irresponsible GOP spending plan could put thousands of people out of work here in CO at a time when we need to be building jobs here for the future," said Perlmutter. "The best way to shrink our debt is to get people back to work, and that is my priority.  The Twitter town hall is another opportunity to hear from constituents about their ideas on how to build jobs, places we can save money, and how to keep moving forward toward economic stability and security. I look forward to having a great discussion on the details and what it means for America’s working families across the country.”
