Why Should You Get Involved?
Estimates have the numbe of registered lobbyists in Washington alone at more than 35,000. Thats more than 65 lobbyists for each of the 535 Members of Congress! Yet a Member of Congress places a premium on what is best for constituents like you. After all, its your vote that puts that legislator in office, and its your vote that can remove them from office. Members of Congress must be made aware that their actions are being closely monitored by the voters back home. Thats why citizens like you are such a powerful force.
What Are the Benefits of Getting Involved?
Participating at the grassroots level provides benefits for YOU and your agency. As a grassroots activist, you will become more knowledgeable about the issues affecting your industry, acquire a more thorough understanding of the political and legislative process and develop a commitment to action. Most importantly, your participation will help protect the future of independent insurance agents and brokers.
