New forum for constituents to ask questions, comment on issues or request help

Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (NC-05) today announced that she will answer questions and discuss constituent concerns during a “Facebook Friday” event this Friday, December 2 on her Facebook page at facebook.com/RepVirginiaFoxx.  For the first time, Foxx will use Facebook’s online format to discuss the issues of the day, gather feedback and help constituents who have problems dealing with the federal government.

“Thousands and thousands of Fifth District constituents are active on Facebook so I want to allow them to dialogue with me in a setting that is convenient for them,” Foxx said.  “There are countless methods for staying in touch with my constituents and Facebook is one of the many ways I use to hear from those I represent.

Constituents who wish to participate in Foxx’s “Facebook Friday” need only post a question or comment on Foxx’s Facebook page anytime on Friday morning, December 2.  Foxx will then answer questions on Friday afternoon.  It’s as simple as posting on Foxx’s wall at facebook.com/RepVirginiaFoxx. 

“The great thing about a medium like Facebook is that it provides a mechanism for constituents to participate in many different discussions by making comments, asking questions and “liking” posts to show their approval or disapproval,” Foxx said.  “It’s an incredibly helpful platform for gathering feedback and interacting with people in real time.”

Note: Due to House ethics rules Rep. Foxx is unable to discuss campaign-related issues on her official Facebook page at Facebook.com/RepVirginiaFoxx.
