Telephone Town Hall Services Allowing Citizens to Participate

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 18, 2010 -- "Telephone Town Hall services are allowing citizens to participate in their government in ways never before imagined," said OrangePoint Communications director Laurie Patterson. OrangePoint is a service bureau specializing in providing Telephone Town Hall services to political and business leaders.

Campaign organizers are responding to public demand by investing in cost effective Tele-Town Hall Teleconferencing , a technology which is rapidly transforming the way political and corporate leaders are interacting with their core audience and key voters. One of the things that makes this technology so attractive is that there is no need for the users to purchase any special hardware or software. The infrastructure is already in place and leaders can use the service immediately, with virtually no ramp up time.

When President Obama announced the first presidential Virtual Town Hall Meeting from the White House, he was flooded with over 100,000 questions from American citizens who embraced this new technology. The flood of questions shows that citizens are comfortable and educated about modern technology and are increasingly seeking the ability to interact with politicians and elected officials.

And citizens want their voices to be heard. "It is clear that the general public is tired of just watching politicians on TV. They want to interact and get involved in the debate. Telephone Town Hall technology is fantastic because it connects people in real time on current issues such as the healthcare reform, and allows them to ask questions or present their opinions." said Patterson, Director of Town Hall Teleconferencing at OrangePoint Communications.

OrangePoint's technology is paragon in the industry and helps clients redefine voter relationships, address issues and find common ground.

"Clients who have started to interact with their audience using our system are wondering why it's taken them so long to embrace this technology. Citizens and the general public are the ones driving this trend, not the other way around," said Patterson. Specifically designed to improve voter registration and campaign performance, OrangePoint's web based system runs on a regular PC and allows campaign staff to monitor the calls and allows the candidate to read and screen questions before answering them. It also allows the campaign organizer to gather metrics on the participants and which issues matter to them.

"There is virtually no limit to the size of a Telephone Town Hall services . Whether you have 10 or 100,000 citizens opting in, it's ultimately the size of your phone list that is the limit," Patterson said.
