Greg, the problem with yours and Doug's otherwise good suggestions is that *we can't lobby non-member amateurs to support the legislation*. We can only ask our members to do so. After the Bill passes, if we are that fortunate, we will be able to use the Bill as a membership recruitment tool without restriction. 73, Chris On Wed, Sep 14, 2016 at 10:15 AM, G Widin <gpwidin@comcast.net> wrote:
Do we have any way of targeting non-member amateurs? This bill is good for all amateurs, not just members. I suppose Doug's Facebook idea would be one way. Can we somehow use that Marketing has of non-member licensees for a one-time invitation to use Rally Congress and support the bill? 73, Greg, K0GW

I sent a message on the need to Senate passage of the Parity Act to the NE Division last night.
This morning I urged NE Section Managers to send out a reminder before the end of the week.
My local Congressman already has a message out to his constituents saying good things.

How's everyone else doing? I see messages from six Directors and three Section Managers in the outgoing e-mail log.

I consider this legislation and passage to be one of the most important things the ARRL has done in years and years.
Let's push to get it over the finish line!
