Tire Industry Association - Government Affairs: TirePAC


	Let’s face it: The tire industry is in the government spotlight. TIA is in Washington, D.C., fighting battles daily with Congress, the administration and many federal agencies on behalf of the tire industry. TIA’s TirePAC w as created shortly after the tire recalls of 2000 to assist those in Congress who assist the tire industry. TirePAC helps to ensure the election of officials who are friendly to the tire industry as well as establish and maintain solid relationships with elected officials who support the interests of the tire industry. TirePAC allows each member of TIA to be heard more effectively on Capitol Hill. Just think… if every eligible member of TIA contributed only $25 to TirePAC, we could raise over $100,000 to give to members of Congress who work for the best interests of the tire industry. Your contribution can help TIA introduce important legislation on issues related to taxes, labor, health care and transportation. Simply complete the “Prior Approval” form and we’ll send you more information about TirePAC. Eligibility: Must be a U.S. Citizen and a member of TIA.

TirePAC has collected $3,275 in 2003 and the Government Affairs Committee will hold a conference call to discuss the next round of fundraising ideas. TirePAC was unable to conduct a fundraising raffle in Nevada during theInternational Tire Expo due to state laws of the Gaming Commission.

TirePAC will donate $500 to Chairman of the House Small Business Committee Donald Manzullo this week at a fundraising event. Manzullo is a champion for small business issues going to bat on AHPs, FPI and contact bundling, just to name a few.
