NAHB INVITES MEMBERS TO PARTICIPATE IN TELEFORUMS SHOWCASING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES


This fall, the National Association of Home Builders is co-sponsoring several virtual town hall events with the presidential candidates. These events are to be conducted as “teleforums” that provide members an opportunity to hear from the candidates and ask them questions via telephone. Together with our co-sponsors, we have invited the following candidates to conduct individual teleforums:

President Barack Obama
Governor Mitt Romney
Governor Rick Perry
Congressman Ron Paul
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann
Speaker Newt Gingrich
Businessman Herman Cain

Register Your Interest to Be Connected to these Teleforums
All NAHB members are invited to participate. Simply fill out the registration form at this link. You will need to provide us with a valid telephone number at which you can be contacted when the event begins.

Here’s How it Works
Due to last-minute changes in the candidates’ schedules, all teleforum times are approximate. Each teleforum event will last roughly 45 to 60 minutes, and you will receive instructions on how to submit a question to the candidate once you are connected. Please keep in mind that only a limited number of questions can be taken in each teleforum due to time constraints. Also bear in mind that, if you do not wish to participate in a certain teleforum, all you need to do is hang up when the operator calls you. 

NAHB expects more candidates to soon confirm times in which they can participate in a teleforum event. You will be notified of each subsequently scheduled teleforum as soon as that information is available.

NAHB Policy on Presidential Elections
Consistent with our policy, NAHB is not endorsing any presidential candidate. We are simply providing a channel through which the candidates can talk with our members, and vice-versa. It is up to each of our members to decide whether he or she will participate in any of the calls that will be taking place.

Questions?
Contact Nick Gentile at ngentile@nahb.org if you have any questions about this unique opportunity to connect with the 2012 presidential candidates.
