Realizing that “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions”, I can only say that a Division wide email on the EC Proposal and the Rep. Ross House Resolution are on the agenda short list.

The ARRL Letter, whose April 15 edition contained a story and the URL to the FAQ's on the proposal, went to over 65,000 members. That's not a trivial percentage of the membership.

I am curious about the fact that the Division-wide e-mail bulletin capability has been used in only one Division (if I'm reading the stats correctly) to provide facts to members about the proposal via text bulletins or direct URL's to relevant pages on the ARRL web site.

Regardless of one's opinion about entering the thread wars on QRZ, et al., we do have this unused capability to reach members and counterbalance the misinformation and distortions that they may be reading in the threads, rants, blogs, soapboxes, and other fertilizer bins.
