Stay Politically Alert

There are a number of things that Congress is reviewing that may negatively impact credit union members throughout the country and then we have two issues that could greatly impact our region specifically.

Visit http://www.capwiz.com/tcul/issues/alert/?alertid=14104801 to learn about key issues that could affect your credit union and our ability to offer our members the best possible solutions.

In a time when jobs are at a premium, we can ill afford to lose one of the major employers in this area. Visit http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/metro/6857710.html to learn more about how the proposed NASA budget could impact JSC and our region. Visit http://goboldlynasa.org/ to learn more about the impact of space exploration and how to get involved. The other major issue is school funding. Some local school districts have been forced to lay off employees to try to trim budgets. These two issues directly impact our membership.

We encourage our members to stay alert to theses issues and make their voices heard.
