On August 13th at 10:30 a.m., the VoteForBusiness
Bus will arrive at the offices of the Chamber SWLA
(120 West Pujo Street, Downtown Lake Charles).
After remarks from special speakers from the U.S.
Chamber and America's Energy Coast, there will be a
free lunch, voter registration and fun & prizes for
attendees!
The Chamber SWLA, the U.S. Chamber, and America's
Energy Coast are joining forces to highlight what
the business community is doing to modernize and
expand our nation's transportation and energy
infrastructure. Together, The Chamber SWLA and
the U.S. Chamber are working to address America's
most fundamental needs.
"Through the tour, we hope to promote pro-business
legislation and remind constituents of their
importance at the ballot box in '08. These
efforts include registering attendees to vote,
garnering publicity and media on the tour, and
talking to audiences about what we are doing on
important issues," said VoteForBusiness organizer
Eileen Goulding.
"The Chamber SWLA strongly urges everyone to get out
and vote!" agreed Chamber SWLA President/CEO George
Swift. "We are honored to be the only
Louisiana stop on their cross country tour. We
often visit with the U.S. Chamber during our trips
to Washington, D.C. They have proven to be
invaluable partners to the Chamber SWLA with our
pro-Southwest Louisiana, pro-business lobbying
efforts in our nation's capital."
This event will feature the following speakers:
· U.S. Chamber of Commerce's John Gonzales on
their Faster, Better, Safer
Infrastructure Campaign
