The Travel Industry Association (TIA) needs
your help to push for passage of the Travel Promotion Act this
year. More than 40 percent of the Senate and nearly one-half
of House Members have co-sponsored the bill. Momentum is with
us but time is not on our side. TIA needs your help to get a
large majority of the House onboard with travel promotion
and pass the bill before Congress gets bogged down in election-year
politics.
We still need both
Texas Senators and 19 of the 32 Members of the Texas House
Delegation to co-sponsor the bill! Please contact your Senators
and Representative in your area and schedule a meeting to
discuss the Travel Promotion Act or fax them
a letter. Sample
