where the trucks had a rally, That was co-sponsored by
Owner-Operators United Inc.
Thats the assoc. that we started after the april 1st shutdown.
We have since introduced a bill to congress that will go hand in hand with HB 6106
This bill will save you guys that buy diesel 6 cents a gallon in fed fuel tax, and thats just a start
I spend a lot of time on GB forum but since this fuel has gotten stupid in price, I have been working hard as well as all the members
of the new OOU Inc to get all of us a break. NOT Just Truckers
Check out the main OOU site
www.owneroperatorsunited.org

Thanks
Dan Little

    iluvguns,
    you said "Since when can just any "organization" introduce a bill to congress?"

    We are the fastest growing trucking assoc. in the usa today, we are working hand in hand with leaders from several states {over 30} to bring about change in fuel prices, this affects all fuel not just truck fuel.

    but wait, thats not the whole story, this new assoc. also has several different irons in the fire so to speak.

    heres a program that the OOU came out with today,

    OOU Inc starts Kids Christmas Program,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    The OOU Inc. today announced a new program.

    The program called -Truckers Toys for Kids- or TTK
    for short.

    We are asking all members to sometime between now & December 1, 2008 to purchase 1 new in the package toy & to donate that toy to

    St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
    262 Danny Thomas Place
    Memphis, TN 38105

    All toys must be new in the org. unopened package.
    Toys for children, ages new born thru 18 years old will be accepted.

    We are asking all OOU state reps to arrange for pickup of these toys from your state members, at which time, they will be shipped to ;
    St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

    Think what a new toy would do if it were you at an early age sick in a hospital.

    And look at how St. Jude does business,
    All patients accepted for treatment at St. Jude are treated without regard to the family's ability to pay.

    St. Jude is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility. Discoveries made there have completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases.

    If we at the OOU Inc start now by Dec 1,2008 we should be able to supply every child that enters that hospital a new toy, & just maybe a ray of hope with a smile.

    So come'on boy's & girl's "TOY UP"

    oh by the way, everyone not just truckers are welcome to join the OOU Inc.
    Dan

    Great sales pitch, but where did you answer his question of, how can an organization introduce a bill in congress?

    You have to have a congressman introduce the bill, you as an organization can't?

    Buying toys for the kids at St. Jude is a great thing. But that doesn't help fuel prices. And if you really believe that Congress is going to repeal the federal tax on fuel, I have an ocean front lot in Arizona that I would love to sell you. States are now going before Congress to ask them to make up the short-fall in their fuel taxes for road repair and construction. Really think the feds are going to give back the fuel tax? Naw...ain't gonna happen.
