Fight back against regulatory capture!

SIGN NOW: Tell congressional leaders they must ensure passengers of delayed or canceled flights will automatically get their money back, as initially promised.

Now airline lobbyists are citing this congressional action as a rationale for undermining Biden's new rule. This is a perfect example of regulatory capture. We must fight back.
