You can help protect the advantages you enjoy as a credit union member by letting your legislators know that you care about maintaining credit unions' income-tax exemption. Remember, they were elected to be your voice in Congress, so contact them to let them know your opinions about current legislation.

A credit union trade association, Credit Union National Association, has information on its Web site about current legislation, how to contact your elected officials, a record of how your legislators have voted on bills that affect your finances and more.
