As I write this, there is nothing on the opening page of our web site about H.Res. 230, so when we urge members to get informed and then write their members of Congress, we can't just say, "Go to the ARRL web site and click on" something-or-other. They have to excavate their way to a story (which wasn't that great to begin with) buried way down in the news stack. Even clicking on the link that says "BPL" doesn't take you to anything about the resolution. Are we trying to make it hard for members to take grass-roots initiative about this, or does it only seem that way?

Also, I just looked at Division e-mail bulletins issued in the last month and found that 5 Divisions have done bulletins mentioning H.Res. 230. The resolution was introduced a month ago. Is there a conclusion to be drawn from this? (Though I did not read all the Section bulletins, a spot check showed several SM's have put something out on the subject.)

If we're not going to back up the work of Chwat & Co. any better than we are doing right now, why not save the membership's money and stop paying Chwat whatever we pay him. The members of the Board's Grass Roots Legislative Ad Hoc Committee are doing good work. How much cooperation are they getting?

There may be activity going on within Divisions that I don't know about, of course, but it concerns me when it *appears* that we are in effect letting Rep. Ross hang out to dry and not pushing very hard to get the co-sponsors he needs. Will he be there for us again when we need him?
