The National Onion Association (NOA) is asking members to contact their Congressional representatives by April 22 to support a bag fee on onions imported from Mexico.
According to NOA, imported onions have placed significant pressure on the domestic market, contributing to lower prices and raising concerns about product quality and safety oversight. A per-bag fee would offset labor and regulatory cost gaps to create a more balanced competitive environment, promote adherence to comparable production and safety standards, and reinforce fair market conditions for U.S. growers.
NOA is asking for assistance in communicating this effort with members of the U.S. House and Senate. To do this:
Share the letter (downloaded from the link below) with your Congresspersons and ask them to sign on in support of this initiative. When you forward the letter to them, please copy and paste this link for them to sign on to the letter themselves: https://quill.senate.gov/letters/letter/35422/opt-in/view/92a77081-8e4d-4b95-a02d-5f662576b99f/.
Include this link and copy Martha.Gallagher@mail.house.gov in any communication to House offices and Dreyton_Rud@cramer.senate.gov for communications in the Senate.
Note that only members of Congress can access this link.
