Hey Gang,
The Amateur Radio Parity Act--we've been talking about it for
a while. Now it's ACTION TIME for
at
least some of you in the Division. Next
Tuesday, January 12th, the House Bill comes up before the House Energy and
Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology. Five House members from Ohio, Kentucky and
Michigan sit on that committee.
The ARRL is asking each ham in those congressional
districts to contact their representatives and ask for their support for the
bill. It's easy. Just go to this website:
All you have to do
is fill in your zip code, and get a message to your congressman. Do it today!
This specifically applies to those of you who live in
Michigan in Fred Upton's district, which is generally the southwestern part of
the state; those who live in Ohio Rep. Robert Latta's district, which is
generally around the Toledo area; those who live in Ohio Rep. Bill Johnson's
district, which is generally southeastern Ohio along the river; those who live
in Kentucky Rep. Brett Guthrie's district, which is generally south of
Louisville and Lexington; and those who live in Kentucky Rep. John Yarmouth's
district, which is in the immediate Louisville area.
Even if you don't live in those districts, you can
contact your representative. If the bill
passes out of committee, we'll need to have a full effort from everyone before
the bill comes to a vote in the House.
We're getting close.
Thanks for your past efforts, and get ready to make your voice heard
again soon!
