NACS Alerts

NACS has asked for our help. Please call and email your members of Congress to urge support of H.R. 5546. The banking and credit card industries will be contacting them to oppose this effort. Therefore, it is very important they hear from us that we support H.R. 5546 for our businesses and consumers and that we would like their support of the bill.
