What is the CADCA Capitol Hill Day?

One of the best ways to ensure that legislation of importance to you is supported by your Members of Congress is to build a relationship with them. Members of Congress are elected by their constituents and their main responsibility is to vote on behalf of their constituents. Few people ever take advantage of this significant opportunity to influence their Members of Congress. In fact, surveys have shown that 90% of American adults never have written a letter to a Member of Congress. The first step in developing a relationship with your members is to meet with them or their key staffers. The CADCA Capitol Hill Day offers you this opportunity!
