Attend APRO's Legislative Conference
to Secure Rent-to-Own's Future

Rep. William Lacy Clay and Sen. Mary Landrieu are calling on all rent-to-own owners, employees and vendors to attend APRO's 2010 Legislative Conference. Your attendance will continue the powerful momentum already generated this session. Your small business advocacy of the industry supported bills - "The Consumer Rental Purchase Agreement Act"  (H.R. 1744 and S. 738) -  has created record breaking support for the rent-to-own industry.

Thanks to APRO's grassroots advocacy, Rep. Clay's H.R. 1744 has the most co-sponsors in rent-to-own's legislative history. With 109 co-sponsors, one-fourth of the U.S. House of Representatives recognize that passage of the Consumer Rental Purchase Agreement Act would continue rent-to-own's contribution to the American economy and consumers.

Sen. Landrieu's S. 738 has 15 co-sponsors and needs APRO members' grassroots help to continue the momentum in the Senate. The majority of the co-sponsorships and legislative support is generated from APRO's Legislative Conference attendees.

Your attendance to APRO's 2010 Legislative Conference is imperative to continue the record-breaking support for rent-to-own's future. The face-to-face meetings in Congressional offices with members and staff who directly handle rent-to-own legislation has been the key to generating support and movement of the industry supported federal legislation - The Consumer Rental Purchase Agreeement Act.

Your attendance has also been key to preventing detrimental legislation that has jeopardized rent-to-own's existence for the past decades. President Barak Obama and Congressional leaders are addressing sweeping consumer regulations this session that could have enormous impact on your business. Your attendance to APRO's legislative conference is imperative to ensure rent-to-own's future.

Register Now.

After 17 years of representing the rent-to-own industry before the U.S. Congress, APRO's annual legislative conference is the legislative event of the year. APRO's Legislative Conference is where hundreds of rent-to-own dealers, employees and vendors unite on Capitol Hill to tell the rent-to-own story.
