US Senator Herb Kohl, who is not up for re-election until 2012, has NO specific Listening Sessions planned during the August Recess! Here is his updated statement regarding his August schedule: For Immediate Release (202) 224-5653Update on Senator Kohl’s August 2009 Recess Schedule8/6/09As always, Senator Kohl will be traveling throughout Wisconsin during the Senate recess in August. He will visit many communities in all parts of the state to meet with both individuals and groups on the topic of health care reform and his work to reduce health care costs. In addition to focusing on health care, Senator Kohl also plans to host the Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Margaret Hamburg in Madison to discuss food safety; visit the campuses of academic institutions such as Nicolet College, UW Green Bay and Viterbo; and speak to seniors at events in Northern Wisconsin. Once Senator Kohl’s schedules are finalized, his public events are announced through the media.While Senator Kohl tries to accommodate the many requests he receives, time does not always permit it. That’s why he established his five offices around Wisconsin—located in Madison, Milwaukee, Appleton, Eau Claire and LaCrosse—to provide additional personal contact and assistance. If you are specifically interested in learning more about health care, you can read his latest remarks or view his speech. Additionally, you can sign up for his health care reform listserv by emailing health_reform@kohl.senate.gov. You may also sign up for Senator Kohl’s general e-newsletter on our home-page at kohl.senate.gov. And, as always, you can send Senator Kohl an e-mail with your thoughts here.Thank you for visiting Senator Kohl’s website.
