Dear Members,

The American Bus Association (ABA) needs our help regarding the National Park Service's proposal to increase park entrance fees.  The ABA is requesting our members to make phone calls or send letters on their company letterhead.  They have created a template letter that they would like distributed to several targeted Members of Congress - mostly Senators on the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee.  Please find a list of the Members with their addresses and phone numbers, along with the staff contact who handles national park issues for them:
