Heating, Airconditioning, and Refrigeration Distributors International
(
HARDI) announced that
Fox News’ contributor,
Tucker Carlson, will be the keynote
speaker at its 2010 Congressional Fly-In, May 18-19 in Washington, D.C. Carlson
has hosted political talk shows on CNN, MSNBC, and PBS before moving to Fox
News. He is also currently the editor-in-chief of TheDailyCaller.com TheDailyCaller.com.
Carlson will address HARDI Fly-In participants during the dinner banquet the
evening of May 18 to give his insider’s overview of the Obama administration,
the 2010 mid-term elections, and the major legislative issues facing HARDI
members this year.
This will be HARDI’s third time hosting a Congressional Fly-In, at
which the organization arranges all meetings for members based on their
location(s), and prepares and provides talking points that they can use as a
guide during their congressional meetings and leave with their representative
as a resource. It also make every
attempt to combine meetings for distributors within the same district, so there
is no need to be nervous about facing congressmen alone.
“The decision to hold our third Fly-In was an easy one given the
growth in participation and interest we’ve seen in previous Fly-In’s and the
unprecedented number of issues affecting our members these days,” said HARDI
Executive Vice President and C.O.O.
Donald Frendberg. 2009’s Congressional Fly-In was the stage for
120 meetings with House and Senate members. 2010’s Congressional Fly-In will
again promote the interests of HVACR wholesale distributors on Capitol Hill
including:
extending the HVAC tax credits, putting the final nail in
Card Check,
keeping taxes low,
securing commercial HVAC incentives,
laying the groundwork for REAL healthcare reform,
and preserving the important LIFO accounting method.
(HARDI supplier and service vendor members are always invited and
encouraged to participate in support of their distributor partners.)
