“Consumer spending constitutes 70 percent of the U.S. gross national product and we need to do all we can to stimulate purchasing in our category,” said D. Christopher Davis, President and CEO of the World Floor Covering Association (WFCA). “The WFCA has undertaken an ambitious grass roots effort to encourage not only our retailers, but everyone they know to write their congressional representatives and urge them to support the HIRE Act legislation. Representatives really do listen to their constituents.

“To make it easy, all anyone needs to do is go to www.wfca-pro.org and click on 'Legislative Action Center.' From that point, just enter your ZIP code and the system will let you know the name of your representative in the House. Type that into the prewritten letter of support for the HIRE Act, type in your name and either email it, or print it and mail or fax it. The support letter may be edited or personalized, if you so desire. No matter what method you use, your member of Congress needs to hear from you now!” Davis concluded.

The four flooring industry associations are members of the American Home Furnishings and Building Products Coalition, which is actively supporting the HIRE Act.
