Your Reps will be Home to Meet with You – Deliver the Hardhats for Highways Message

April 14-25, 2014 | www.HardhatsforHighways.org Your Senators and Representatives will be back working in your home districts starting next Monday, April 14 through Friday, April 25.  It is the perfect opportunity to set up meetings to discuss the importance federal highway funding has on your company and your job. Make an appointment to visit the District office closest to you. Bring this informational leave-behind and a company hardhat with the “Hardhats for Highways” decal affixed listing the number of jobs in your company that will be affected if funding is cut off. While these are the best times to visit, don’t hesitate to set up appointments at other times and visit with their staff members. If you have already met with your members of Congress, please take a moment and report your deliveries to us so we may continue to educate Congress here in Washington, D.C.  You may also email brynn.huneke@hardhatsforhighways.org to report your visits, including the date of your meeting, the Congressional office you visited, with whom you met, the number of jobs indicated on your hardhat, and, if possible, a photo capturing the exchange. Your deliveries will be tallied on www.HardhatsforHighways.org through the Jobs Tracker tool. We also encourage you and your employees to send “e-Hardhat” letters telling Congress to take action. It is never too late to get involved. To date, Hardhats for Highways has already distributed 14,000 hardhat decals to companies in the construction industry. More than 1,800 “e-Hardhat” letters have been sent to 285 different Congressional offices in 44 states. For more information, please contact Brynn Huneke at (703) 837-5376 or brynn.huneke@agc.org.
