District Work Period: April 14-25, 2014
Your Senators and Representatives are currently working in your home districts. Set aside time to meet with them now through Friday, April 25 and 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.
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 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 to brynn.huneke@hardhatsforhighways.org. Your deliveries will be tallied on www.HardhatsforHighways.org through the Jobs Tracker tool.
We are concerned about the impact the looming Highway Trust Fund shortfall is having on our business decisions and state transportation programs. Please take a moment to complete this survey to help us raise awareness of the impacts of this crisis. The information received from the survey will be shared with members of Congress as they debate how to avoid the looming shortfall.
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 3,500 “e-Hardhat” letters have been sent to 365 different Congressional offices in 46 states.
