In Washington, power speaks. But numbers are needed for that power. Take
the NRA. Membership is around 4 million, and they have the power to represent their membership in DC. Not every gun owner is happy with all their decisions, BUT- the NRA IS their voice in DC, and members have the power to alter that voice, if they wish to. The ARRL is our ONLY link to Washington. There are, what, around 500,000 licensed hams in this country? That's a small number...we need to band together to be heard. The NRA, at 4 million, speaks for 80+ million gun owners. The League, as mossbound as it is, speaks for us. If you don't like what the League is doing, WORK TO CHANGE IT!!! Run for office in your local club (you DO belong to a local club, right?). Heck, run for a League position. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! DON'T SIT THERE AND WHINE ABOUT IT!!!! Keep in mind what Benjamin Franklin said as they were signing the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia in 1776: "We must hang together, or surely we will all hang separately." We hams had blessed well better hang together, or we're toast. "Stupidity is always more interesting than dullness." R.E.T. |
