Please be aware that all town halls are run differently and schedules do change. So if you plan on attending, please confirm (online or by calling the Senator's office) the time and place and rules for attendance.
- Thurs, Feb 23 @ 10am CST Floyd County Town Meeting (details here)
- Friday, Feb 24th @ 8am CST Butler County Town Meeting (details here)
Step 2: If you get a chance to ask a question or raise the issue, here some things you might want to speak about:
- Mention that you are a constituent.
- Explain that you are deeply concerned about the $66 billion mega-merger between Bayer and Monsanto.
- We’ve seen what their practices of both companies have done to bees — which are so vital to our farms and food.
- Entire farm communities are endangered by these companies.
- Talk about what these concerns mean to yourself and your family. Make it personal.
Ask the Senator to:
- Write the Department of Justice in opposition to the merger.
- Hold a hearing in DC on it.
- Speak out publicly about it; to not take his eye off the ball.
There is a lot going on in DC -- from Obamacare repeal to tax reform to all the various scandals -- but we just can’t let this one slip by because we were spending too much time paying attention to other things.
