The SM I talked to said he felt that too many messages had already been sent on the topic, and that members would feel that he was spamming them.

I finally convinced him that it would be OK to send just one more message with a "pre-apology" that they received a few different messages, but that this was a matter of great urgency and high importance.

I don't know if other SMs have the same feeling, but perhaps a direct appeal to them from K5UR would improve participation.

It's great to see that all 15 Directors sent out messages to their Division regarding the need for Senate support of the Parity Act.

I'm surprised to see so few Section Managers have done it - just twenty of them, and seven are from New England. I will say it took a bit of pushing to get all of them in New England on board.

There's still (little) time to get the word out from the rest of them.

Do we need a different approach to involve Section Managers?
