To All, The Roanoke Division is on board; Letter sent to division, to SM’s for follow-up, and thanks given to members who signed the Representative letters in our letter writing campaign. I then re-read Mike’s post about doing this on Thursday. I guess I suffer from premature publication; it’s never happened before……… J I did add this part to my note: As elected officials of the ARRL, we are permitted only to reach out to members. However, the use of this Rally Congress web link can be used by anyone who desires to support this legislation. I hope this passes the legal “sniff” test. ’73 de JIM N2ZZ Director – Roanoke Division Serving ARRL members in the Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina sections ARRL – The National Association for Amateur Radio™ From: arrl-odv [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Christopher Imlay Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2016 10:20 AM To: G Widin Cc: Tom Frenaye; arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:25691] Re: Parity Act progress Greg, the problem with yours and Doug's otherwise good suggestions is that we can't lobby non-member amateurs to support the legislation. We can only ask our members to do so. After the Bill passes, if we are that fortunate, we will be able to use the Bill as a membership recruitment tool without restriction. 73, Chris On Wed, Sep 14, 2016 at 10:15 AM, G Widin <gpwidin@comcast.net> wrote: Do we have any way of targeting non-member amateurs? This bill is good for all amateurs, not just members. I suppose Doug's Facebook idea would be one way. Can we somehow use that Marketing has of non-member licensees for a one-time invitation to use Rally Congress and support the bill? 73, Greg, K0GW On Wed, Sep 14, 2016 at 8:44 AM, Tom Frenaye <frenaye@pcnet.com> wrote: I sent a message on the need to Senate passage of the Parity Act to the NE Division last night.
