W5MTV --- Hence "Look At {Better} Success" :
Look at the NRA Political Victory
Fund (NRA-PVF) : http://www.nrapvf.org/

The Are More and Bigger Challenges To Amateur Radio Then
Just BPL : Such As Lose of RF Spectrum and Radio Bands.

Simple Fact : With just 155,000 Members the ARRL
is a relatively 'small' Constituency Group for anyone
Congressman or Senator; and the US Congress as a
whole; as contrasted to :
* NRA ~ 4 Million Members [25X ARRL]
* AARP ~ 40 Million Members [250X ARRL]
Both of Which Claim To Be "Non-Profit" Organizations too...

Again I Simply Posse The Question :
Why-Not ? : A "Voice of Amateur Radio" PAC Fund !
