Many of you joined me on my inaugural telephone town hall on education policies, and I hope you enjoyed reading (and listening to) the webpage I created for those who were unable to join us. If you’d like to participate in future telephone town halls, please email honda.teletownhall (at) mail.house.gov with your name and phone number.

I’ve also created a page with recordings from my second, more generally oriented telephone town hall. During the call, constituents asked questions on a wide range of important topics, including gas prices, balancing the budget, oil drilling, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I enjoyed our conversation, and look forward to holding many more telephone town halls.

Tomorrow I will participate in an online chat on the San Jose Mercury News’ website. The chat will be moderated by Mercury News political writer Mary Anne Ostrom. To join us during the online chat, visit http://www.mercurynews.com/presidentelect on Thursday from noon to 1 p.m. Pacific Time.

I hope to chat with you soon.
