WASHINGTON — From the opening band America to a promotional video featuring Harleys, CUNA's 2008 Governmental Affairs Conference promises to be as American as apple pie.

CUNA has e-mailed a viral video to past GAC attendees to stir up interest. The video features CUNA Chairman Allan Kemp McMorris, president/CEO of Oakland County Credit Union riding his Harley Davidson–with America's Ventura Highway playing in the background–to Washington, D.C. for the big event.

And, what could be more American than participating in the political process? In the video, McMorris tells credit unions, "We need you to speak out in support of our great credit union movement and everything we do for our members. The GAC is where we show our strength in numbers and make sure our collective voice is heard."
