ROEMER VISITS NORTH LIBERTY ELEMENTARY ■ii * 1 B On Thursday, January 16, Congressman Tim Roemer spoke with North Liberty fifth and sixth graders in an informational exchange. As part of a Social Studies lesson on direct and indirect democracy, students studied the process of government and representation. The sixth graders then wrote to Congressman Roemer to voice their opinions on various concerns, such as homelessness, pollution, unemployment, and funding for farmers. Many of the students asked questions of Roemer hoping for some sort of reply. One student, Wes Roush, invited the Congressman to visit the school. Roemer was delighted and called Tim Davis to schedule a time.

At the discussion session, Roemer referred to many oflhe individual concerns in the students’ letters. He answered each personally and expounded on his stand on the issue. Upon hearing that a group of these students and teachers are to be visiting Washington, D.C. this spring. Roemer appointed one student as “coordinator” between his office and the group. This coordinator will arrange a personal tour of the Capitol Building by Congressman Roemer. After a description of his duties, several stories, and discussion of student letters, Roemer accepted questions from the audience. Although the students and teachers were anxious for more, Roemer’s busy schedule demanded that he leave after one hour. Before his exit, Congressman Roemer was presented with a plaque and a North Liberty Elementary pin. He said the plaque will be proudly displayed in his Washington, D.C. office.
