Today’s DrinkNectar post is featured on Cork’d. Starting this week, I’ll be featuring two posts per week over with the fine folks at WineLibrary! Cork’d is becoming an online playground for all things wine.

STOP THE MADNESS – NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION

Read the post here and be sure to take action. April 19, I created a Facebook page to help draw attention to the potentially disastrous legislation that would cripple small business wineries and could close the doors on direct to customer shipping. The page is an aggregate of information and a space to express your concerns against the passage of HR5034. Please become a fan (like) that page today, and share with as many friends as you can.

*Special thanks to Tom Wark for helping spread the word about HR5034 and helping administrate the Facebook page!

A CALL TO ACTION:

• Contact your representative and tell them to vote NO on HR5034. (Use one of the many articles in this piece for reference materials).
• Re-post this or any of the referenced articles on twitter using the hashtag #HR5034
• Join the Facebook community STOPHR5034, post it to your page and share it with your friends.
• Share this information with other wineries, wine associations, and wine lovers
