Sign if you agree: Transportation Chair Shuster should resign for his cozy relationship with airline lobbyists
Rep. Bill Shuster
After 130,000 people, including the Daily Kos community, called on the House Transportation Committee not to pass a bill that would turn our Air Traffic Control system over to the hands of corporate interests, House leadership listened and temporarily nixed the bill.
But the Committee Chair, Rep. Bill Shuster, won’t let up. He wants to ram through this bill that would be a terrible idea for workers and travelers.
Why? He has a very cozy relationship with the airline industry association pushing the bill. In fact, his girlfriend is a top lobbyist.
This is a clear conflict of interest, and Rep. Shuster should resign. Please add your name to stop the privatization of air traffic controllers, and preserve our victory.

It is time for you to resign from the House Transportation Committee. You’ve clearly pushed legislation that favors airline lobbyists with whom you have a cozy relationship.
