We are now asking that each Section Manager separately email their

Specifically, would each of you please send an email to your section
members asking them to use the following link to email their senators:

It's a busy world, and those of us in the technology sector know more
than most how precious time has become. Clicking a link to send a
message to our Senators is a great time-saver, but ...

Please don't.

My grandfather was a politician in Massachusetts for his entire career,
and he told me repeatedly that the ONLY kind of letters he ever paid
attention to were HANDWRITTEN.

Senators get hundreds of prepared messages each day, most of them
generated by the same sort of computer code that the URL above will
trigger. If that's all the time you can spare, by all means use it, but
PLEASE pick up a pen and do it the old-fashioned way instead.

I know it's a pain. I know it's inconvenient. I know it's a bit of a
throwback to grammar school and takes minutes out of your precious
personal time. *SO* *DO* *THEY*. Your Senators will be a lot more
impressed by a handwritten letter, not just simply because it's
impossible for it to have come from anyone else but YOU, but because you
are willing to spend the time to put pen to paper.

Here is a URL that will help a lot mo it will give you your Senator's
mailing address in a matter of seconds.

The rest is up to you.

73,

Bill, W4EWH
