Kay, Joel asked me to answer your question. Sorry for the delay. The drafts came out of John Chwat's shop. I'd say that the most appropriate insert into the blank would be "constituent" or "resident and voter" -- or some variation on that theme. Of course, this is only appropriate if you really ARE a constituent. As Kay has noted, the word "the" is missing from paragraph 3, first line, just before "amateur radio service." Of course, personalizing the letter is good, particularly if you have an established relationship. 73, Dave K1ZZ -----Original Message----- From: Kay Craigie [mailto:n3kn@verizon.net] Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 7:49 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: RE: [arrl-odv:15581] Action Plan for BPL/FCC Study Just one question about the draft letters. In the text the second sentence says "As a ___ in your district ...." What information should we put in the blank? Would it be better to say "Vice President of the ARRL, Inc.," or "licensed Amateur Radio operator," or "voter"? Any recommendations about what's more effective in catching the attention of the recipient? Thanks for all the work that went into this. 73 - Kay N3KN
