2008 MCUL Hike the Hill Agenda |
The Michigan Credit Union League (MCUL) has scheduled its 9th Annual Hike the Hill grassroots lobbying trip to Washington, D.C. for June 11 and 12. Enclosed you will find a tentative agenda, registration form, flight and hotel information, as well as a CURE Defense Fund Scholarship Application. To register, please complete the attached form and return via fax or mail.
Note - There is no registration fee for Hike the Hill.
Your participation in this year’s Hike the Hill is as important as ever. With eleven members of Michigan’s delegation signed on as co-sponsors of the Credit Union Regulatory Improvements Act, CURIA- HR 1537 (Reps Camp, Conyers, Hoekstra, Kildee, Kilpatrick, Knollenberg, Levin, McCotter, Stupak, Upton and Walberg), and credit unions poised for legislative success with the Credit Union Regulatory Relief Act, (CURRA- HR 5519) the banking lobby has stepped up their grassroots lobbying efforts against credit unions in Washington. Any number of other important issues such as the current mortgage and foreclosure crisis, data security, identity theft and predatory lending are all make your presence at Hike the Hill tremendously important.
Michigan credit unions are known for our grassroots lobbying strength, and we need to demonstrate it now more than ever. We must not let others have the last word with the future of the credit union movement. We need to have our
strongest showing ever for this year’s Hike the Hill to show our delegation that if they support credit unions we will be there to support them!
If you have any questions regarding the 2008 MCUL Hike the Hill, or any other grassroots advocacy activities, please contact me by phone at 1-800-262-6285
