OOIDA National Call to Action
June 26, 2007

As you may know, despite strong congressional disapproval the DOT announced it will move forward with the Mexican truck pilot program.

Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA), Congresswoman Nancy Boyda (D-KS) and Congressman Gary Miller (R-CA) are frustrated with the lack of response by the administration to concerns raised regarding the pilot program. They are circulating a letter for additional signatures from members of Congress that will be sent to President Bush. The letter demands he stop the implementation of this program that will grant Mexican commercial trucks and drivers unfettered access to our roads.

Please ask your representative to join Congressman Hunter, Congresswoman Boyda and Congressman Miller in signing the letter.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!  The deadline for submitting this letter is tomorrow.

To contact your representative in the U.S House, call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121, provide the operator with your home zip code and they will connect you with the office of your elected representative.
