Greetings: Later today we should have a bill number that we can refer to our members. I am asking you, the Directors and Vice Directors to call each of your section managers and urge them to: 1. Write their congressman. 2. During their club visits have a handout that they can give to the members pointing out the "hot link" on our web site that will refer them to their representatives. 3. Some section managers actually know their representative personally. I am asking that they visit in person or call. 4. Send a QSL card to their representative with a note that they urge their representative to support bill_________. We have a lot to talk about in our club visits and conventions and I know you will be happy to point out what your League has done in the last few months. Possible new bands, and a CC&R bill in Congress! Thanks! Jim Haynie, W5JBP President

As Jim and others have already pointed out we are going to need to work hard to get passage of The Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Consistency Act of 2002. I recently sent a letter to about 106 club contact people in my division asking them to invite legislators down on Field Day. The letter was sent a few days before the bill was introduced. I had already done so in my monthly e-mail bulletin via the web. I have been using the new software staff has designed. It has a few quirks but it is good. Please consider a similar action and feel free to edit the letter to your needs. If we do not act now it will be another year before we again have the opportunity. Frank Fallon....N2FF......
