The CATA is excited to introduce SoftEdge, a new grassroots software that enables you to easily connect with your local legislators to communicate critical issues that impact your business.

In light of the Governor’s recent initiative to cap Illinois retailers’ sales tax collection allowance, we’re hoping a tool like SoftEdge will make contacting your local legislators easier and more effective. In the next week, emails will be sent to dealer principals and dealer members. Simply register for the system and note the city in which you reside as well as the one in which you do business.

Via SoftEdge, the CATA will prepopulate letters to local legislature that dealers can simply forward along or customize as desired. The goal is to get as many dealers/business owners to contact policymakers to communicate pertinent information so they can consider our side as they enact various laws.

The CATA is committed to lobbying and advocating for issues that matter to you, but we need your help (there’s power in numbers). Please contact us with any questions.
