The importance of a strong OOIDA PAC
Along with the size of our membership base and grassroots activities, politicians also often equate the association's PAC participation as a measure of our members' interest in politics and an indicator of how active our members will be when it comes time to vote.
When it comes to politics, far and away the greatest advantage that large trucking corporations, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) and other political opponents have had over small-business truckers and professional drivers is the amount of money they contribute to political campaigns.

PAC funds as reported for the 2005 cycle

* This represents only a small portion that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce spends on their political activities. In the first half of 2005, the Chamber spent $18 mil on their political activities last year, $8.5 mil for the Chamber and $9.5 mil for the Institute of Legal Reform, a group founded by the Chamber in 1998. |
