Perspective on Congressional Action Days

"Who would ever think that a congressman would step out of a committee hearing to give me, a small business owner, a few minutes of his time... but he did."

Skip Paal, Rutland Beard Floral Group, Inc., Catonsville, Md.

"(Business owners) from other industries are in D.C. making an impact all the time. Don't we deserve the same attention?"

Bridget Carlon, Ashland Addison Florist, Chicago

"The difference you can make is huge. Washington wants to hear from us."

Dwight Larimer, AAF, PFCI, DESIGN MASTER color tool, inc., Boulder, Colo.

Society of American Florists members at the SAF Congressional Action Day

Want Congress to support your business?
Help your legislators understand it. 

32nd Annual
SAF CONGRESSIONAL ACTION DAYS
March 19-20, 2012
Washington, D.C.

Every day in Washington, people just like you walk into offices on Capitol Hill and tell legislators what's important to them.

They're not professional lobbyists — just ordinary citizens exercising their right to be heard.

And Congress listens.

Nothing has more power than the personal story of a constituent who takes the time to come to Washington.

Imagine the impact when people from every part of the floral industry walk
into offices on Capitol Hill on the same day and speak with one voice.

Right now, before the 2012 elections, is your most important time to be heard.

You must make sure your members of Congress understand what you do and why it matters — the jobs you provide, the taxes you pay, the important relationships you have within your community; and the importance of a healthy floral industry.

If you don't speak for your business ... who will?
