[arrl-odv:23047] PR for the HR

I have started a special Twitter account that I am using to push out information on H.R. 4696 and to encourage people to contact their members of Congress about co-sponsoring. The Twitter account name that people can follow is @KayCraigieN3KN. The hashtag for the bill is #hr4969. One of the first tweets I did was a link to the video. This is not an ego trip for me. I will use the account to report the legislative advocacy activities of ARRL leaders such as your contacts (in-person, phone calls, e-mails, etc.) with Congress. I will note your Division e-mail bulletins, Facebook page posts, convention and club speeches, etc., that refer to the bill. You can help me keep the encouragement flowing by posting your activities on the ODV and/or sending me personal e-mails, whatever you prefer. If you know that your Section Managers are lighting fires under members, that information can also be noted if you'll pass it along to me. For example, it looks like 12 SMs so far have sent Section e-mail bulletins mentioning the bill. Also, I certainly don't have to be the only one who does this. For example, two Divisions that I know of have Facebook pages and some Sections do, too. If you use social media or have a trusted member who knows the ropes, this would be a good time to use the capability. Other ideas for use of social media in this effort? This is a no-cost way to increase the buzz. 73 - Kay N3KN

In my previous post, I wrote, "I have started a special Twitter account that I am using to push out information on H.R. 4696...." I have absolutely no idea what H.R. 4696 is about and can't even blame my inversion of our bill's number on autocorrect! Thanks to the person who so politely pointed out my mistake. 73 - Kay N3KN
