CPA will hold its Second Annual Legislative Fly-In on March 2-4, 2010. This is a powerful opportunity for us to work together to advance trade reform in the halls of Congress. We need to bring the concerns of the grass roots to our legislators.
This is efficient advocacy, well worth your time. We make all the meeting arrangements with legislators or their staff, we put together materials, we plan a message, and we pack meetings together in a concentrated period of time. You make a bigger impact with your time using only three of the 365 days in the year.
March 2, 2010: 2p to 6p - Group meeting for training, talking points and team assignments
March 3-4, 2010: Hill visits
Place: Capitol Skyline Hotel, 10 I ("Eye") Street SW, Washington, DC 20024
Call 202.488.7500 for hotel room reservations and ask for the CPA room block. You should book for the evenings of March 2 and March 3. CPA has negotiated discounted rates for a limited number of rooms at $129 per night plus tax.
We need your support to make a change. This is an election year, so it is especially important to make your concerns known.
Note: This is our first time videoing the event, and we did it ourselves, not with a professional. So hold your criticism of any problems. You get what you pay for.
