Meet and Greet Rep. Don Young

I read that Don Young is planning to meet and greet his constituents in Alaska through this coming week or so, similarly to how he met and greeted constituents in Fairbanks last week. There's no information on this at his official U.S. House site, but his schedule is posted at his campaign site. Here it is:

We invite you to come join Congressman Don Young as he travels throughout the state.

January 7, 2008
Valley Under 40 Meet and Greet
Evangelo's Restaurant
Mile 40 Parks Highway
5:30-7:30

January 9, 2008
Kenai Meet and Greet
Challenger Learning Center
9711 Kenai Spur Hwy
6:00-8:00

January 10, 2008
Anchorage Meet and Greet
Sourdough Mining Company
5200 Juneau Street
5:30-7:30

For further information contact Alaskans for Don Young at (907) 563-431

This is distinctly different from how Rep. Young has handled any campaign in the past. For instance, in his Alaska travels as late as October of 2006, he insisted he was traveling as our congressman, not as a candidate. But these upcoming activities are clearly being handled by, and one would hope, are being paid for by his 2008 campaign fund.

Now's your chance to meet and greet your congressman! I'll be there at Evangelo's.
