WHEN:

DETAILS: A telephone town meeting operates like a large-scale conference call, taking a modern approach to the traditional town meeting.  This technology makes it possible for Congressman Kanjorski to reach hundreds or thousands of constituents during one phone call.  They can personally interact with Congressman Kanjorski, listen to him discuss relevant issues, and ask him questions live over the phone.
