Oil Heat Industry Unites in a Grassroots Campaign to Support NORA Reauthorization

Oil heat associations, dealers and affiliated industry groups have joined forces to develop SupportNORA.org to raise public awareness of and support for legislation to renew of the National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA) in the United States Congress.

SupportNORA.org provides consumers and community leaders with information about NORA, its mission, initiatives and accomplishments.  The site also provides a bill summary; links to NEFI’s Legislative Action Center where visitors can contact their members of Congress by email or phone; pre-written emails and talking points; and a listing of environmental and efficiency groups and trade associations supporting NORA’s reauthorization.

Bill insert slips have been created and are available for consumer mailings, and can be ordered at <i>www.supportnora.org/banners.php</i> or by contacting NEFI at 617-924-1000 to order. In addition, anyone who wishes to link their website to SupportNORA.org is urged to download a banner from the ‘Resources” section of the website.  The site has graphic links at the top, allowing visitors to post a link on popular social networking sites as well.

SupportNORA.org was created with support from the National Association for Oilheat Research and Education; New England Fuel Institute; Petroleum Marketers Association of America; Oilheat Manufacturers Association; and National Association of Oil & Energy Service Professionals for the purposes of supporting the NORA program and related legislation. The site was not paid for with NORA funds and is unaffiliated with the NORA program.  For more information, please contact Jim Collura at 202-584-0160.
