Tennessee Wholesalers Make the Rounds in Washington, D.C.
Thank you to the TMBA members who made the trip to Washington D.C. in April to attend the NBWA LegislativeConference and visited with many members of the TN Congressional delegation.
Wholesalers worked to gain cosponsors for H.R. 5034 - THE CARE ACT of 2010 - Comprehensive Alcohol Regulatory Effectiveness Act of 2010.
The CARE Act, which is an NBWA initiative, reaffirms and protects the primary authority of states to regulate alcoholic beverages, assists states in defending their alcohol laws from deregulatory litigation, and clarifies that state alcohol laws have the presumption of validity when being challenged.
During the Monday afternoon session, A.K. Dettwiller had the opportunity to introduce Congressman John Tanner (8th District) to 700 NBWA members.
Thanks to A.K. Dettwiller, Ross Tarver, Mike McWherter, Jim & Kate Cardin, Stuart & Frank Wood, Blair Carter, and Scott Turner for attending the NBWA Legislative Conference.
