U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall (R-GA) will host his first round of Town Hall Meetings for 2013 in his Seventh District, which consists of parts of Gwinnett and Forsyth counties. Two of these meetings will be in-person and one will be over the telephone. “We have our work cut out for us this Congress,” said Woodall in a press release announcing the upcoming meetings. “With all of the drama surrounding the so-called fiscal cliff ‘deal’ at the end of the last Congress, Americans are demanding not only answers from Washington, but action. "I hosted multiple Town Hall Meetings throughout those debates to ensure that those I represent made their voices heard, and to ensure that they were kept informed throughout the entire process.” He added: "Now …

Rep. Rob Woodall offers an update on the fiscal cliff crisis in this letter to the editor.

Monday, December 17, 2012
(Editor's note: the following is a letter to the editor from Rep. Rob Woodall.) Our 2012 deficit is $1.1 trillion. While the federal government took in just as much tax revenue ($2.4 trillion) this year as it did in 2006, the annual deficit has grown 340%. Why? Higher spending. Notwithstanding what is being reported in the popular press, I can tell you with certainty that Washington doesn't have a revenue problem—it has a spending problem! This Administration's higher spending has made it the first in history to run an annual deficit exceeding one trillion dollars. This Administration has continued this same record deficit spending for the past four years now. To us, seeing such a dramatic increase in deficits while revenue …

(Editor's note: the following was sent by Rep. Rob Woodall as a letter to the editor to Snellville Patch.) If you've turned on a television or opened a newspaper in the last few weeks, you've no doubt seen the so-called "fiscal cliff" conversation unfolding in Washington. The "fiscal cliff" is Washington-speak for the expiration of Bush-era tax rates coupled with across-the-board spending cuts on many domestic spending accounts. While the fiscal cliff coverage continues to escalate as the January deadline draws near, I can tell you these discussions are absolutely nothing new. They are a continuation of every discussion that the House and the President have had during my two years in Congress: the President wants to see taxes go up and…

With fiscal cliff talks in full swing in Congress, U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall (R-Lawrenceville) has scheduled three telephone town hall meetings with his Seventh District constituents in December. “America’s wellbeing hangs in the balance of decisions we make over the next few weeks. As fiscal talks escalate here in Congress, it’s critical that the Seventh District know what is happening in Washington, and that I hear their input,” Woodall said in a press release announcing the telephone talks. The House’s schedule prevents him from scheduling any in-person town hall meetings in December, he said. Here is the schedule: They will be open to all constituents in the Seventh District. Toll-free call-in information is the same for all three events…

Representative Rob Woodall held a Gwinnett town hall meeting at Calvin Fitchett Municipal Complex in Lilburn Saturday Morning.
U.S. Representative Rob Woodall, who represents Lilburn in Georgia’s Seventh District, answered questions from the general public. Although he is not up for re-election next week, Woodall is making sure to reach the general public. A brief introduction and a question and answer session was held for an hour in Lilburn. Citizens voiced their concerns on the economy, personal, local, and international issues. It got a bit hostile and personal at times from detractors in the hour-long town hall meeting. Woodall addressed concerns about the “Super Committee” in Congress. One man believed that the Super Committee was bringing on the “destruction of America.” When asked about sending money to countries like Afghanistan and other countries that “…

A large, and mostly supportive, crowd turned out for Tuesday's town hall meeting in Lawrenceville with U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall of Georgia's Seventh District.
U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall of the Georgia’s Seventh District, speaking to a largely supportive crowd at a town hall meeting in Lawrenceville Tuesday, told attendees the new way of imposing tax is through regulation (see video clip). He said although no regulations have come before Congress during his seven months in office, 600 new government regulations were either finalized or proposed during the month of July alone. Woodall defended his vote on raising the debt ceiling, saying it reduced the size and scope of government and, for the first time in American history, it was linked to dollar for dollar spending cuts. He reiterated his support for the Cut, Cap and Balance Bill that the House of Representatives passed, but that the Senate wouldn’t…

Freshman representative predicts record turnout and says America is going to win because of it.
Rep. Rob Woodall (R-GA-07) is already looking forward to next year. Speaking at the Aug. 11 Founding Fathers Tea Party Patriots meeting at the Flying Machine in Lawrenceville, Woodall said the packed town hall meetings and the passion of his constituents are good indicators that 2012 will bring a record turnout at the polls (see video). “I’ve told anybody that will listen that 2012 is going to be exciting,” he said. “It’s going to be exciting, I’ll tell you, because everybody that President Barack Obama inspired to turn out to the polls in 2008 -- they are all coming back again.” The Democrats are not the only ones who will return to the polls, he added. “Everybody that the Tea Party and 9-12 and other conservative groups inspired to come …

Well, Congressman Woodall it would nice to see members of the House and Senate challenge President Obama on his nefarious plans for us. I just read an article that claims: an average day, the government collects 5 billion dollars in revenues and spends approximately 11 billion. The big spenders would be: 3 billion per day for Health and Human Services, 2.5 billion per day for Social Security, 1.8… more ›
