Dems throwing convention doors open with town hall event
Democrats are throwing open the doors to their national convention this month with a town hall format in which Americans everywhere can ask questions though videos submitted online or in person.
“America’s Town Hall,” as the Democrats are calling it, will take place on the second night of the convention, with elected officials responding to videotaped questions, pre-selected by party officials.
There also will be an opportunity for live call-ins, but convention officials have not yet disclosed the details of how that will work.
Voters can submit questions at http://www.demconvention.com/townhall. The party has also arranged for “open calls” in eight cities for people to record their questions in person, including the Atlanta area on Wednesday, August 13, at the Decatur City Square, 599 N. McDonough St., Decatur, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
