We should also make a point of reminding members that the names and addresses of their representatives in Congress and the Senate are prominently displayed on the "Members Only" page. We have many who don't know who represents them and this saves all the guesswork and look ups (assuming their ARRL mailing address is current). -- Andy Oppel, N6AJO At 02:13 PM 1/24/2006, you wrote:
Joel: I look forward to receiving my letter and will promptly get it in the mail to Rep.Cubin (moron). In addition to the above, a point was brought up at the meeting about the Grassroot web page and the number of members listed in a Directors congressional district. Sooooo I went to the address data base on the Grassroot project page and did a query for Wyoming and came up with one member for the Wyoming congressional district. (no jokes please) What upset me the most, I was not that member. I pray this was not an operator error and if so I am sorry. However, if not it should be addressed in the near future. Once again congrats and take care, Rev WS7W

As I mentioned at the board meeting, Chwat is preparing a 90 day congressional visitation schedule and plan. We should have that in the next two weeks. We can then coordinate letters prior to visits with Chwat, the grassroots committee, and each of you individually in your division to make this effort work. Also, Dave & his staff at HQ will be preparing a letter for each Director, Vice Director, and Officer to send to your respective congressional representative. We'll be advising you of the process for this shortly. I expect this to generate 35 letters (15 Directors, 15 Vice Directors, 5 Officers) in support of H. Res. 230. As the old Bartles & James Wine Cooler saying went...."We thank you for your support!" 73 Joel W5ZN
