The conclusion of our earlier investigation was that as a 501(c)(3) the ARRL could not organize a PAC. A separate 501(c)(4) would have to be created. The ARRL could not support either the 501(c)(4) or the PAC, either financially or with in-kind services. Dave K1ZZ

[ARRL-ODV:9228] ARRL in Action items needed
by Wilson, Mark K1RO 11 Aug '03

11 Aug '03

Dave Hassler asked me to forward his monthly call for items for ARRL in Action. 73, Mark K1RO ______ Hi All. I hope this now-familiar note regarding submissions for the ARRL-in-Action column in QST finds you all well. We're still coming to you via the ODV reflector, in an effort to cut down spam in our in-boxes. I'm all for that! I am asking for word of anything out there that you personally, or someone in your division, is doing directly for a member, or the membership in general, other than hamfest booth reports (which I will HAPPILY take for the Web version of this column, btw! :^) This column is all about reminding members, and others who read the magazine, that the volunteers in the field organization are doing things to out for members' interests. So, anything that is a direct helping action is great for this column. Some recent examples of items include: helping out at a Big Project pilot school, getting materials to a remote club, SGLs informing state officials on ham radio, and an OO team solving a particularly tough interference problem. Maybe you've developed a unique way of getting bulletins out to members; does an affiliated club have a group going out to visit an elderly ham? Or maybe something else? If it's something the League is doing on behalf of its membership, then it's fair game and I'm all ears! My deadline this month is kind of tight: August 18th for the October issue. My direct e-mail is k7ccc(a)arrl.org. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. 73, Dave Hassler, K7CCC Assistant News Editor QST Magazine and ARRLWeb

Dick, Having grown up in NW Indiana, I know there is two more necessities to become elected -- at least in Cook County: 1) An up-to-date list of deceased (but still on the voting book) voters and 2) A good supply of pints of whiskey or wine to pay off the itinerants to vote in place of the dead. Even I, a conservative, learned this from Dickey Daly. Jim Weaver, K8JE, Director, Great Lakes Division k8je(a)arrl.org - Tel. 513-459-0142 ARRL -- The reason Amateur Radio is!

10 AUG, 2003 - 2005 CDT Here in Illinois the primary requirement to hold state office is an ample supply of empty shoe boxes to hold all the cash contributions, bribes, pay-offs, etc., that our state office-holders collect. No acting or government experience required. The current Speaker of The House Of Representatives (my Congressman) is a former high school wrestling coach. Perhaps this is better than having another attorney in congress??? 73 - Dick, W9GIG

Tom, I won't comment at this time on a formal PAC; however, I am setting up operations for the GLD to inform members of needs for letter writing, etc. action related to FCC and congressional bills. My intent is to have the proper names and addresses for the respective people readily available via the Internet, along with sample letters and encouragement to individualize these letters somewhat for the respective needs (respectively and respectfully!). My thought is that having such a mechanism in operation is more important than setting up a formal PAC. The PAC is a good idea, I believe, but can either wait until after the E-mail letter-writing coordination is activated or at the same time it is activated. I've referred to letter writing, but personal discussions with a member's congressman or senator could also be encouraged. Extending the idea one step further, the system to use the Internet to coordinate action by our members could get down to intrastate activity for state PRB-type legislation, etc. and could be run through the SM E-mail system. Just a thought. I had planned to pop this idea out a little later, but with your E-mail suggestion arriving, later simply became now. 73, Jim Jim Weaver, K8JE, Director, Great Lakes Division k8je(a)arrl.org - Tel. 513-459-0142 ARRL -- The reason Amateur Radio is!
