OOIDA CALL TO ACTION  
April 3, 2008                                                                     

The recent national media coverage focused on the price of diesel and the trucking industry has grabbed the attention of many elected officials on Capitol Hill.   Congressmen and Senators are certainly hearing from OOIDA, but they also need to hear from you, the constituents they are supposed to represent and the people whose votes they need to stay in office.

Please call the offices of your 2 Senators and your Representative in Congress today.  Please convey to them or their staff how fuel prices are impacting you, your livelihood and your family.

Congressional offices are hearing many complaints about the price of diesel and gas these days, so they will be particularly interested to hear suggested solutions.

As an active member of the trucking community, you can speak with authority about how trucking industry practices and procedures may be corrected or improved to help you and your fellow truckers survive fuel price hikes.

To contact your 2 Senators and your Representative in Congress, 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 offices of your elected representatives.

You are also welcome to call OOIDA at (800) 444-5791. Association staff will be happy to help put you in touch with your elected representatives.

Call today!
