with lawmakers and policy makers. OOIDA's grass

to make decisions that are in the best interest
of professional truckers. When an important issue
that affects you comes up, we will send and post
on our website (www.ooida.com) a "Call to
Action" to describe the issue. We encourage
you to then write or call your Congressman and/or

behalf to make sure that your voice is heard. |
