I noticed in the USA Today this morning there was the article Credit Card fees eat up gas profits. I understand that sometimes gas station owners are unfairly targeted as the "fiends" of the rising gas prices and that their profit margins on gas is slim (however the gas brings in the customers to the mini-mart where they regain their profits), so it looks like the National Association of Convenience Stores are attempting to target the credit card companies and interchange fees as "culprits" to take the heat off of them.
They do reference the interchange income reform bill in the article, which seems timely as this is one of the issues we will be bringing up on Wednesday. Perfect time to share our voice on this issue!
Looks like the saying holds true in world of politics, "even if you don't play the game, someone else will."

Arrival
Well we finally arrived last night after 8+ hours of flying. I am glad that we followed Joe's recommendation to fly into Reagon National Airport. The last thing you want after a long flight is a 50 minute cab ride. With the way the flights were scheduled we ended up flying in on Monday so that we could be fresh and ready to go on Wednesday morning, on the plus side this gives us the day to explore Washington D.C.
Daris and I pop-quizzed each other on the plane on the issues and I feel more confident now on the talking points.
