If you're ready to make your voice heard, just want to talk to your Congresswoman face-to-face, or want to see what your neighbors have to say about the proposed changes to Social Security, now's your chance. Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky is returning home, and several town hall-style meetings have been organized, thanks to MoveOn.org and folks like you. Find a meeting near you in the coming week (starting tonight), and make sure you get your $.02 in about where your $.02 should go.
