With local persistence and a good letter writing campaign, Congressman Peter DeFazio (D-OR) has agreed to become a co-sponsor for HR 4969. The Northwestern Division has had some success in its efforts to find co-sponsors but seems to be facing a little resistance due to some spirited campaigns leading up to this election and having large geographic areas that are not impacted by antenna regulations. Even so, we now have two and are about to engage in a final push. I attribute the success we have had to the hundreds of Hams that took on the challenge, and attempted to mimic the 'blue card campaign' of Mr. Maxim and Mr. Tuska. My hat is off to the NW Division members. 73 and good Hamming Jim, K7CEX
With the welcome addition of Mr. DeFazio because of relentless good work by hams in the district, my list shows 13 gonna-be cosponsors in addition to the 47 already officially on the bill. That makes 60, which is exactly twice our original goal. What do you think? Can we get to 70? 73 - Kay N3KN
Jim, This indeed, is great news. Congratulations to you and the NW Division. 73 de Mike N2YBB From: Jim Pace K7CEX NW Division Director Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2014 9:58 AM To: ODV Subject: [arrl-odv:23481] New Signer With local persistence and a good letter writing campaign, Congressman Peter DeFazio (D-OR) has agreed to become a co-sponsor for HR 4969.
