| ALERT
|
| TELL YOUR SENATORS TO VOTE AGAINST COMMERCIALIZATION OF HIGHWAY REST STOPS
|
|
|
| Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) will introduce an amendment to the 
transportation
| bill that will allow for commercial services at rest areas. Allowing state
| governments to sell food, fuel and convenience items directly on the
| shoulder of the highway will put businesses such as yours - that rely on
| customers exiting the highway - at a major disadvantage.
|
| Allowing commercial rest areas will not increase the overall number of
| hamburgers or motor fuels gallons sold, but simply transfer sales away 
from
| your current competitive business environment to the government. Simply 
put,
| commercializing rest areas will jeopardize your businesses, communities 
and
| kill jobs.
|
| Send a letter asking your senators to Vote NO - it will only take a few
| minutes.
|
| THIS VOTE COULD COME EARLY NEXT WEEK..TAKE ACTION TODAY!
