"Joining the townhall discussion is as easy as signing up at my official website, http://crapo.senate.gov and clicking on the iTownHall logo on the homepage." Crapo said. "I am happy to discuss any issue that is now facing Congress and our country. For example, health care reforms are now being debated in Congress, credit and banking legislation or even the issues related to federal spending is also at the forefront. I always look forward to these robust discussions on a range of issues and the common sense input from Idahoans on these calls."

The call on Wednesday, May 13th will begin at 7:00 p.m. Mountain / 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time. To sign up, visit the Multimedia section at Crapo's website, http://crapo.senate.gov/media/multimedia.cfm.
