A call to Action...Immediate response is requried
From our Divisional Manger.
Dear Midwest Division Section Managers, As you no doubt know, the US House of Representatives recently passed HR-1301. The bill now goes to the Senate and there is reason to believe that the Senate will take up the bill SOON. Our lobbying efforts by ARRL members as of this morning have generated 30,000 emails to all 100 senators. We are now asking that each Section Manager separately email their section members asking that they again respond with emails of support. Specifically, would each of you please send an email to your section members asking them to use the following link to email their senators: https://arrl.rallycongress.net/ctas/...dio-parity-act Timing of your request to section members should be sent this Sunday or Monday (Sept. 18-19). Thank-you and best 73's, Rod Blocksome, K0DAS -------------------------------------------------------------------- ARRL Nebraska Section Section Manager: Mr Matthew N Anderson, KA0BOJ -------------------------------------------------------------------- |

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. http://www.senate.gov/senators/contact/ The rest is up to you. 73, Bill, W4EWH -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) |

Haven't members of Congress discouraged written letters ever since people started sending letters tainted with ricin or anthrax? At the very least, I think the screening process delays written letters. I went to the websites of my two senators and sent messages about the Amateur Radio Parity Act in my own words via their online reponse systems. Patty |
