The
California Rental Dealers must stand organized and united. Recent national
and local issues demand that our industry be organized and ready to prevent
intrusions on our industry, our businesses and our livelihood, especially
in the large state of California. |
||
Historically, what occurs in California will affect
the rest of the nation and vice-versa. Not having an organization leaves
us vulnerable to the State and Local Legislatures dictating how we as
an industry conduct business without our input. Right now we have no
voice, no power, and no protections. Our businesses can no longer allow
this to continue. We need this organization to represent Californian
Dealers as a whole, to provide a unified voice for our industry. As a
small local dealer, I can't think of anything more important. I want
to be informed and ready for anything that might occur. |
||
Most
of you reading this may think, "Why do we
need an association, when we already operate under the most stringent
laws in the country?" The answer to this is found within the question
itself. Reflect back to when the laws were enacted. At that time California
didn't have any organization, strength, or unity and because of this
we are required to abide by these laws in order to transact business
in California. This is why we need an association. Remember, Legislators
do not ask for our permission to pass laws, they just do it. This is
why we need a strong association in our state. We can not assume that
we are protected by our current legislation. Take action now and protect
our businesses and livelihood. I urge you to become an active member
of CAL-APRO. |
