U.S. Representative Sanford Bishop to host town hall meeting

Congressman Sanford D. Bishop Jr. announced this week that he will hold a series of town hall meetings to discuss the very important issue of health care reform.
The meeting closest to Grady County will be held Thursday, Aug. 20, from 10 a.m. until noon at the Kirbo Regional Center on the campus of Bainbridge College.
“Following the August District Work Period, the House will consider H.R. 3200, America’s Affordable Health Choices Act, which seeks to reform our broken health care system,” Bishop said. “On an issue as important as this, the members of Congress must be given ample time to review the bill closely and to hear the concerns of their constituents. All of you will play an important role in the future of health care, and I encourage you to attend one of these town hall events and let your voices be heard.”
