The Outdoor Amusement Business Association's goal of 100 members of congress to sign onto the CARE act is within reach. HR 1787 is the labor salvation for our carnival and concessions industry. We must continue the outreach to our Congressional representatives to gather as much support as possible in the next month. If you have not made the call yet, please do so today. If you reached out and your congressmen have not signed on yet, follow up with their office again. Many members of Congress are visiting fairs this time of year. Find out when they will be attending the event you are at and speak to them about HR 1787.
The political breakdown of our co-sponsors is Republicans - 38 and Democrats - 28. This is a good bi-partisan balance. Our top 5 states are: Michigan - 8, Florida - 5, Indiana - 5, New Jersey - 5 and California - 3. To view the entire list, and to see if your Congressman is a co- sponsor, click here
CARE Act/RIDE Act Resources:
- You can find our advocacy guide here.
- If you do not know who your Member of Congress is, visit the “find your representative” website by clicking here. This website will provide you with the name and contact information of your representative.
WE NEED EVERY CARNIVAL, FOOD & GAME CONCESSION, MANUFACTURER AND SUPPLIER, TO REACH OUR GOAL! PLEASE MAKE YOUR CALL TO CONGRESS TODAY.
