Unless I’m missing it, it
appears that we are only generating correspondence to the House. Why didn’t we
include the Senate so that we could get the most “bang for the buck” for our
members’ effort?

Subject: ARRL Needs your in support of HR
1301 - The Amateur Radio Parity Act
Dear ARRL Member-
For the past year, ARRL has been working in Congress and the
Senate to promote the Amateur Radio Parity Act, legislation that would provide
some relief on antenna restrictions for Amateurs living in deed-restricted
communities. These bills are known as HR1301 is the House and S 1685 in the
Senate. Complete information on the legislation is available here www.arrl.org/amateur-radio-parity-act
As part of these efforts, an ARRL official recently visited
your representative in the US House and asked for their support of HR 1301. To
demonstrate this bill serves the interest of their constituents, we are asking
you make direct contact with their office and ask them to support and co-sponsor
HR 1301.
ARRL is now working with an organization called
RallyCongress, which has set up a website that makes contacting your
Representative an easy task. Please follow the link to
https://arrl.rallycongress.net/ctas/urge-congress-to-support-amateur-radio-parity-act
When you visit that page, simply enter your Zip code in the
blank. RallyCongress will then create a custom letter to your Representative.
After entering in your personal information (name, address, etc.), you will be
able to preview the letter. When you are happy with the draft, you can submit
the letter to your Representative by clicking the “send” button.
If you prefer to contact your Representative by phone,
RallyCongress provides that information for you.
We are at a critical stage in getting the Amateur Radio
Parity Act through Congress. The bill has cleared the Senate Committee on
Commerce, Science and Transportation on November 18; we need your help NOW to
help the bill clear the US House Committee on Energy
and Commerce.
Grassroots campaigns like this
only work when all interested parties do their part. Please take a few minutes
to let your Representative know this legislation is important to you and all the
other Amateurs in your District.
Thank you for your help at this critical juncture. Let’s get
this done!
