Members, Take Action Now !

An issue of particular importance to us is passing H.R. 7024, the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act.

This bipartisan bill includes several provisions for the industry’s small businesses to stay competitive; enhancing the Section 179 deduction and restoring full bonus depreciation would allow businesses to keep vehicle fleets modern in an era of skyrocketing costs.

Please help us urge your Senate to take action by clicking the link below. It takes less than 30 seconds to contact your Senator.
