HR 5034 Representative Contact Information
A friend of mine took the time to research the name, phone number and social media (if applicable) for the State Representatives who are responsible for sponsoring H.R. 5034. For those that don’t know, this bill could potentially eliminate a wineries ability to directly ship to customers or self distribute. Direct to consumer is the bread and butter for a lot of small business wineries.
This friend, who we’ll call Agent X, will remain anonymous because he’s wanted by the U.S. Government (no not really). Actually, he has a valid point. In a previous article I’ve called the three tier distribution system the three tier mafia. So, there may be some validity to his fears for not posting this. Thank you, Mr. Agent X, for the research. If I end up missing, please tell my wife I love her and take care of my dog Sheba.
Take action:

Joe Wilson is co-sponsoring this? Isn’t he a hardcore small-government conservative? Oh well. At least none of my reps are co-sponsoring. I’ve yet to hear where they stand on the issue, though.

Funny, with the exception of Mr. McMahon from NY, they are not from big wine producing states. Thanks for posting this information!!
