Legislators Need Your Help!
"I cannot do my job properly unless I hear from my friends and constituents..."
Members of Congress cannot do their job properly unless they hear from their friends and constituents. In Legislators Need Your Help, U.S. Representative Dennis Moore, D-Kansas, explains how Shirley Brown-VanArsdale, chairperson of the NFDA Government Relations Committee and a resident of Kansas, informed him of how the estate tax affects many small-business owners including funeral directors.
Moore is in his second term as a U.S. representative from the Third District of Kansas. His district includes urban Kansas City, suburban Johnson County, and Lawrence, home of the University of Kansas. He is a member of the House Budget Committee, as well as the Financial services and Science committees.
